In our portrait series titled “Meet the Expert,” we are thrilled to present Manuel Schilling. Manuel is working at the German Aerospace Center’s Institute for Satellite Geodesy and Inertial Sensing on applications of quantum sensing in geodesy. His work is focused on improving the determination of the gravity field.
In CARIOQA-PMP Manuel is responsible for the investigation of post Pathfinder Mission applications of CARIOQA technology. The focus is on a follow up Quantum Space Gravimetry mission but applications in fundamental physics are also considered. Furthermore, he contributes to the requirements and scientific objectives of the Pathfinder Mission.
