Ramos-Lerate Mercedes - 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.

Mercedes Ramos-Lerate works as a system test engineer for the Gaia Science Operation Center. Part of her responsibilities are to contribute to the main SOC testing campaigns and daily operations. Mercedes studied Astrophysics at the University of La Laguna. She moved later to UK where she acquired professional experience in space data reduction and processing from the Infrared Space Observatory ISO mission working at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). It was at RAL where she started to specialize in the study of high resolution spectroscopy star forming regions, completing her PhD in 2008 by University College London. Mercedes has been also working in private industry as space software engineer until joining the Gaia team in 2009. [Published: 26/05/2010] |
