Arne Bjerhammar

Arne Bjerhammar (born 1917) is a Swedish geodesist. He is doctor at Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) in Stockholm. He was born in Båstad, Scania in the south of Sweden. He has among other things developed a matrix algebra with generalised inverses, a method used to determine the geoid in gravimetric data, as well as a system for electro-optical measuring of distances. Moreover, he has done research about the Fennoscandian post-glacial rebound. He is the developer of the geodimeter.

Arne Bjerhammar has won several scientific awards, as Gauss Award and KTH:s stora pris.
