Gonzalez Juanjo - 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.

Juanjo González completed his Telecommunication Engineering degree in 2010 at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Barcelona). His thesis was focused on molecular spectroscopy applied to art works analysis in the Raman spectroscopy group. His journey into the world of space missions began in 2010 when he worked at Pildo Labs in the SMOSCat project, aimed at augmenting the resolution of the SMOS satellite measurements using disaggregation methodologies. Juanjo joined the Gaia team at the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) in January 2012. He is the IDT, IDU and DPCB Test Manager. He is also working as a software and testing engineer mainly focused on implementing and validating scientific and technical developments in IDT, and in the data handling, management and arrangement at DPCB - specially on the DPCB Data Manager (DDM). In parallel, Juanjo is doing a PhD at the UPC in the Raman spectroscopy group. His research is based on pattern recognition applied to the identification of artistic materials, crucial in the conservation, restoration and authentication of art works. He thus combines his passion for astronomy and art, working on Gaia and at the UPC. Juanjo left Gaia DPAC in 2019. [Published: 09/01/2014] |
