Cian Crowley

Operations and Instrument Engineer/scientist for HE Space for ESA at ESAC

 

Main Research Fields

Payload and detector calibration, in particular CCDs, as well as the study of radiation effects on these detectors and the correlation with space weather. After more than 10 years working on Gaia I also have interest in astrometry and data analysis techniques, as well as a continuing (though recently not-active) interest in UV instrumentation and spectroscopy.
