Zayer Igor - 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.

Igor Zayer is the ESA Technical Officer leading the development of Gaia's Focal Plane and CCD Technology Demonstrators. Igor obtained his diploma in Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and a PhD at ETH's Institute for Astronomy in 1989. He subsequently worked for the Lockheed Martin Space & Astrophysics Laboratory where he had been nominated Instrument Scientist responsible for the end-to-end scientific performance of the Michelson Doppler Imager instrument on the SOHO satellite, while also leading the in-house CCD activities. Igor joined the European Space Agency in 1996. As a physicist in the Photonics Section within the Technical Directorate, he is running numerous technology developments mainly in the area of detectors, lasers and optical processing. He is not involved in Gaia since 2006. [Published: 15/08/2005 | Updated: 07/10/2008] |
