Paola Marrese

Leiden Observatory

Paola M. Marrese completed her PhD in 2004 at the Astronomy Department of Padova University. During her PhD she worked on the assessment of the Gaia performances on double-lined eclipsing binaries and the accuracy achievable on the determination of the fundamental stellar parameters.

From 2005 to 2009 she was a postdoctoral fellow at Leiden Observatory in The Netherlands where she worked, in collaboration with Anthony Brown, on the photometric data analysis and reduction.

She is now a postdoctoral fellow at ASDC (ASI Science Data Center) where she works on the development of the methods and algorithms for the processing of the dispersed images from BP/RP, in particular crowding evaluation, SSCs determination and background (both instrumental and astrophysical) modellization and subtraction.

She is a member of the Photometry Coordination Unit (CU5).
