Sartoretti Paola - 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.

Paola Sartoretti is based at the Observatoire de Paris at Meudon. She is an active member of CU6 (Spectroscopic Processing) and CU2 (Data Simulations) where she is in charge of the spectroscopic simulations. Currently, she is the manager of the Coordination Unit CU6 and a member of the Data Processing and Analysis Consortium Executive. Paola received her PhD from the University of Padova in 1994 for a thesis on the surface and atmosphere of Io based on HST Faint Object Camera data. Following this she was a postdoc at Kitt Peak National Observatory (U.S.A) where, among other things, she studied the atmosphere of Jupiter. Subsequently as an ESA postdoc at the Institut d'Astrophysique, Paris she was involved with searches for extrasolar planets. Before joining the Gaia team at Meudon, Paola spent 6 years at ESO in Garching, initially as a pipeline code developer for VIMOS (a VLT instrument), and later in charge of the data quality-control of FORSes (another VLT instrument) and VIMOS).
