Kewley Adam - Gaia
Gaia contributors
Gaia was proposed in 1993 and since then, many people have been involved in the Gaia mission, whether at ESA, at industry side or at one of the institutes involved in the Gaia data processing. The Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC) is a collaboration which consists of around 450 scientists and engineers.
The list of Gaia contributors presented here should not be considered a complete representation of the entire consortium and should not be considered as a list of currenly active people on the Gaia mission. A more complete list of Gaia contributors that were involved in the creation of the Gaia catalogues can be obtained from the author lists of the Gaia Collaboration overview papers (for Gaia Data Release 1 see here, for Gaia Data Release 2 see here, for Gaia Early Data Release 3 see here, for the full Gaia Data Release 3 see here, for Gaia Focused Product Release see here). A history of contributions to the Gaia mission can be found from the acknowledgements given with each data release.

Adam worked in industry at Unilever PLC as a data/automation scientist after working at Crown Informatics Ltd as a full-stack web developer. His academic background is in chemistry. He completed his PhD in "The Synthesis and Separation Properties of Organic Cages" under Andrew Cooper FRS at the University of Liverpool. During the PhD, he worked on programming automated robotic platforms to synthesize porous organic cages. He also worked on developing novel gas-separation techniques. Away from work, Adam's interests include learning new software techniques, UI design, 3D design, computer games, board games, and piano - although he's particularly terrible at the piano. Further details about Adam can be found at his personal website. Adam is now a Gaia software developer at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge (UK). He works with Francesca De Angeli and Floor van Leeuwen on the preparation of Gaia's data-processing software stack. [Published: 23/11/2016] |
