Clotet Marcial - 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.

Marcial Clotet completed his Telecommunication Engineering degree in 2010 at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona). His thesis, advised by Enrique García-Berro and Jordi Portell, was focused on robust entropy coders exploring a better solution to the CCSDS 121.0 compression standard for space. He also completed his degree in Business Management and Administration from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) in 2011. After working in the private sector and living in London, he returned to Barcelona to join the Gaia team at the UB in June 2011. He is the DPCB Quality Manager and Configuration Manager, and he also works as a software developer, mainly focused on DpcbTools. Working in Gaia allows him to combine two passions: astronomy and computers. Marcial left Gaia in 2017 Published: 29/01/2013 |
