Salgado Jesús - 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.

Jesús Salgado is working within the Gaia CU9 as Technical Coordinator of the design and implementation of the Gaia Archive Core Systems and as Core Development Team coordinator within the ESA Science Archives and VO Team at ESAC. After obtaining his degree in Physics in 1992, Jesús started investigations on plasma physics simulations, where he published his Masters thesis in 1995 on Simulations of Tokamaks using Genetic Algorithms. From 1995 to 2002, he was working in ESA's ISO satellite and ESA's XMM-Newton operations and, in 2002, he joined the ESA Science Archives and VO Team, where he has been linked to the data access components, designing, implementing, and coordinating data layers and machine interfaces. Also, Jesús has been involved in Virtual Observatory projects like the IVOA (International Virtual Observatory Alliance) where he has had different roles in the Technical Coordination Group. He is currently the Data Model Working Group Chair, which handles the data model standards to be used within the VO. Jesús likes Kafka's novels and Indie movies. Published: 01/02/2013 |
