Roger Mor is a Big Data astrophysicist, finishing the PhD at University of Barcelona under the supervision of Francesca Figueras and Annie Robin (Besan\u00e7on’s Observatory).\u00a0 During his PhD, he has been studying the structure and evolution of the Milky Way, focused in the derivation of the Star Formation History and the stellar Initial Mass Function of our Galaxy. Throughout t<\/span>he development of his PhD thesis, he has gain expertise on Bayesian statistic, Big Data techniques, the Besan\u00e7on Galaxy Model and the most modern and complete full sky observations (e.g. Gaia data). His recent work published in Astronomy&Astrophysics<\/a> has been highlighted in the Nature “Research Highlights”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He is member of the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium<\/a> (DPAC), working on science enabling applications and Data Mining, where he is contributing to the development of the Gaia Data Analytics Framework (GDAF) platform. This Big Data infrastructure aims to provide the user the necessary tools to deal with the huge amount of data provided by the ESA mission Gaia.\u00a0 Moreover, he is collaborating in Gaia data validation tasks, where he made a relevant contribution to the team that has build the new\u00a0Hess diagram for the Gaia Object Generator. <\/a><\/p>\n

During his Bachelor Degree he was accepted at the ESAC trainee project<\/a> in the 2010 call<\/a>, where he was working at European Space Astronomy Centre, with the XMM-Newton team, under the supervision of Norbert Schartel. He also gets the grant from the\u00a0Summer Undergraduate Research Program<\/a> of the University of Leicester in 2009, where he was working in the X-ray astronomy field, under the supervision of Sean Farrell.<\/p>\n

Moreover, he is teaching Maths, Python and Astronomy in the Physics Degree of the University of Barcelona.<\/p>\n
