Meet Yuting Cheng - Early Career Scientist

Yuting is a postdoctoral researcher at the Royal Observatory of Belgium working on the ambitious ESA GENESIS project. Her research centers on a unique satellite co-locating all four space geodetic techniques, creating a unified reference point in space. Her work contributes to improving the precision and stability of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame, while exploring how these observation systems perform together under novel space conditions.
