Liu Chao - 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.

Chao joined the CU8 group at the MPIA in Heidelberg as a postdoc in January 2009 and is working on GSP-PHOT, which estimates stellar astrophysical parameters of Gaia sources with BP/RP spectra. He got his master degree in Computer Science at Peking University and worked in industry for five years. Then, he turned to research and obtained his PhD in Astronomy in 2008. His science interests are on the substructure of the Milky Way and faint dwarf galaxies nearby. [Published: 09/10/09] |
