Seabroke George - 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.

George obtained his Astrophysics PhD, "Probing the Milky Way galaxy through thick and thin (discs and halo) with the Correlation Radial Velocities (CORAVEL) and Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) surveys" from Cambridge in 2007, supervised by Gerry Gilmore and Wyn Evans. Ever since then he has been a post-doc funded by the UK Gaia grant. After his PhD, he joined the e2v centre for electronic imaging (CEI) at Brunel University. The CEI (and George) moved to the Open University in 2008. During this position, George modelled Gaia's e2v CCD pixel architecture, including the Supplementary Buried Channel, as part of the DPAC Working Group (WG) Radiation Task Force, CU5 DU10 and CU6. Since Gaia's launch, George has been very active in public outreach in the UK. This includes participation in the Gaia Live in Schools event, a Gaia teacher training event and the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition. [Published: 15/01/2010; Updated: 06/01/2015] |
