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.

Guilhem Chicot is a French early-career scientist in geophysics and a PhD student at the Royal Observatory of Belgium and KU Leuven. His research explores how geophysical fluids such as the atmosphere, oceans, and hydrosphere influence Earth’s rotation, with a focus on understanding the impacts of climate change on timekeeping and positioning systems.

Alfonso Caldiero, an Italian researcher from near Naples, is close to completing his PhD in geodesy, focusing on spacecraft trajectories around small bodies such as asteroids and comets. His research develops methods to infer an asteroid’s internal mass distribution from gravity field measurements, contributing to the analysis of data from current and upcoming space missions.
