Research and teaching
Research activities
Dr. Detchev’s graduate school research experience was primarily in digital photogrammetry/optical metrology related to biomedical and civil engineering. As an instructor he will be gradually transitioning towards research in teaching and learning methods in engineering, i.e., engineering pedagogy. For example, Dr. Detchev is now a co-chair of the ISPRS WG V/5 “Promotion of the profession to young people” within TC V “Education and outreach”.
Graduate Program Affiliations:
Advising undergraduate or master’s students or collaborating with visiting scholars could be a possibility after getting an approval from the department. However, as an instructor, Dr. Detchev currently cannot provide any funding.
Biography
Dr. Ivan Detchev received his BScE (First Division) in geomatics engineering from the University of New Brunswick in 2007, and his MSc and PhD in digital imaging system from the University of Calgary in 2010 and 2016, respectively. His MSc thesis was on the 3D reconstruction of scoliotic torsos, and prototypes of the implemented system are currently being used in the Alberta Children's Hospital (Calgary) and in the IWK Health Centre (Halifax). His PhD dissertation was in close range photogrammetry and it was related to image-based fine-scale infrastructure monitoring. Dr. Detchey also has industry experience in surveying and remote sensing. His previous employers include G. R. Williams Land Surveying Ltd. (Vancouver, BC) and Pacific Geomatics Ltd. (Surrey, BC).
