Assoc. Prof. Dr Lyubka Pashova | Earth and Planetary Sciences | Research Excellence Award

National Institute of Geophysics, Geodesy and Geography – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences | Bulgaria

Assoc. Professor Lyubka Pashova is a distinguished geodesist and geoscientist at the National Institute of Geophysics, Geodesy and Geography (NIGGG), Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, where she has been serving as an Associate Professor since 2012. With a strong academic foundation rooted in engineering geodesy, cartography, and photogrammetry, she brings over three decades of professional and research experience to the advancement of modern geosciences. She earned her M.Sc. in Geodesy, Cartography and Photogrammetry from the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACEG), Sofia, and later completed her Ph.D. in General, Higher and Applied Geodesy at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Assoc. Prof. Pashova’s research is internationally recognized for its interdisciplinary scope and societal relevance. Her core scientific interests focus on geodetic reference coordinate and height systems, local and regional geodynamic processes, sea level change and its linkage to climate change, and the application of advanced mathematical, statistical, and intelligent methods for geospatial data analysis. A defining feature of her work is the integration of GNSS, satellite remote sensing, UAV photogrammetry, GIS, and big data analytics to address complex natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and tsunamis, particularly in the Balkan and Black Sea regions. She has played key roles in numerous national, European, NATO, and ESA-funded projects, both as a participant and as a project manager. Notably, she has managed projects related to tsunami hazard and risk assessment in the Black Sea and contributed significantly to initiatives on flood risk management, Copernicus services, digital geodetic twins, and disaster preparedness. Her leadership extends to supervising doctoral students, coordinating interdisciplinary teams, and contributing to the development of research infrastructure and capacity building in geodesy and geospatial sciences.
