Geyer Robin - 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.

Robin is a member Gaia Coordination Unit 3 (CU3; Core Processing) where he works on the detection of certain relativistic effects in the Gaia data. As a computer scientist with a specialisation in supercomputers, he is particularly interested in highly parallel algorithms which are suitable for the huge amounts of data that Gaia generates. During his studies of computer sciences at Technische Universtität Dresden (Germany) Robin was involved in astrometric observations of asteroids at the Lohrmann Observatory. He finished his diploma thesis about highly non-linear model fitting for Gaia data in early 2014 (the thesis was co-supervised by Sergei Klioner). Robin worked for one year in the local computing centre as a scientist before he joined the Gaia group at TU Dresden in May 2015. Astronomy, photography and hiking have been Robin's hobbies since his youth. He tries to combine these with travelling to the natural wonders around the globe whenever he can.
