<span style='font-size:13.5pt;color:fuchsia'>Short CV:

Dr. Sisi Zlatanova is an associate professor and the leader of the theme group ‘Geo-information for Crisis Response’ at the GIS Technology section, OTB research Institute for the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. She has graduated as a surveyor at the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Sofia, Bulgaria in 1983 and has obtained her PhD degree on ‘3D GIS for urban modelling’ at the Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria in 2000. She worked as a software programmer at the Central Cadastre in Sofia, Bulgaria (1984-1989), an assistant-professor at UACG, Sofia, Bulgaria (1989-1995) and a researcher at the International Institute for Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), Enschede, The Netherlands (1995-1999).

She is teaching ‘3D GIS’ and ‘Geo-information for disaster management’ within the MSc course Geomatics (www.geomatics.tudelft.nl). She is a coordinator of Module 8 ‘MSc Thesis’ and teaching ‘3D spatial databases’ in the Module 5 of the MSc Course GIMA (www.msc-gima.nl). She has been a visiting lecturer at the China University of Geosciences Beijing, Shandong Agricultural University Tai’an, China (2010), the Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic (2009), University of Venice, Italy (2007, 2008), the Vespicci Summer School, Fiesole, Italy (2005) and the ISCRAM Summer School, Tilburg, the Netherlands (2006). She has organized a training school ‘3D geo-information for disaster management’ within the COST action TU801

She is currently supervising several MSc and the following PhD students: Wiebke Tegtmeier (TUDelft, started Mei 2006), Harmonization of geo-information related to the lifecycle of civil engineering objects - with focus on uncertainty and quality of surveyed data and derived real world representations, Liu Liu (TUDelft, started October 2010): An indoor navigation model for the first responders in emergency response, Ihab Hijazi (University of Osnabruck, Germany): 3D modelling of indoor Utilities and Nazmul Alam (Applied University Stuttgart, Germany): Shadow effect on 3D City Modelling for Photovoltaic cells.

Her research interests are in 3D geo-information: 3D object reconstruction, 3D data structures, 3D geo-databases, 3D spatial relationships (topology) and 3D visualisation (VR and AR). Her qualifications are in object-relational database management systems (Oracle Spatial, PostGIS): structuring and organization of semantically reach 3D data (above, beneath and on the surface), organization of Level of Details (including textures), developing of new data types (e.g. freeform curves and surfaces), spatial functions (e.g. for navigation and evacuation), query and simplifications of IFC models (and their matching to CityGML schema), etc.

She is currently leading WPs in the following projects: COST Action TU0801 ‘Semantic enrichment of 3D city models for sustainable urban development’ (representative for the Netherlands) (www.semcity.eu) and HUMBOLDT www.esdi-humboldt.eu. She is chair of the ISPRS WGIV/8: ‘3D Spatial Data Integration for Disaster Management and Environmental Monitoring’, 2008-2012 (www.commission4.isprs.org/wg8). She has received the ISPRS Schermerhorn award given for the most significant contribution to a working group in the 4 years preceding the Congress for her work within the WP IV/8. Spatial Data integration for emergency services (2004-2008). She is acting as chair and organizer of several symposia and workshops among which Gi4DM (Geo-information for Disaster Management), 3DgeoInfo and UDMS.
