Berghmans is co-PI in the EUI consortium that is preparing for the EUV imagers aboard the Solar Orbiter mission. Dr. Anik de Groof is an ESA scientist for SWAP and LYRA, at the PROBA2 science center (located at the Royal Observatory of Belgium). She obtained her Ph.D. in Solar Physics in 2002 from the K.U. Leuven, Belgium, studying coronal heating mechanisms and coronal waves both in theory as in observational data, and is co-author of 20 refereed publications (NASA ADS number).  She has been involved in PROBA2 since the pre-flight calibration of the EUV imager SWAP in 2006. Since then, she has actively contributed to the many phases of the mission, from the design and development of the PROBA2 Science Centre and the launch activities, to the daily instrument commanding, data processing and scientific exploitation of the SWAP and LYRA data. Recently, Dr. de Groof moved to the European Space and Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Madrid to design and implement the Scientific Operations Centre for the upcoming Solar Orbiter mission. Ir. Marie Dominique is a scientist at the Royal Observatory of Belgium. Her main scientific interests are the evolution of UV solar irradiance and solar flares.  She joined the LYRA team at an early stage of its conception and took a significant part in the development of the instrument. Since mid-2010, Ir. Dominique has been the principal investigator of LYRA. She is co-author of 11 refereed publications (NASA ADS numbers). Dr. Jean-François Hochedez is a solar physicist at the Royal Observatory of Belgium. During the development and the initial observations, Dr. Hochedez was the principal investigator of the LYRA instrument onboard PROBA2. His scientific research addresses all aspects of solar activity and variability by means of novel instrumentation and new schemes for data analysis. He is a co-investigator of instruments on board SOHO, STEREO, PROBA2, and PICARD, of which Dr. Hochedez is currently the mission scientist. He is co-author of 77 refereed publications (NASA ADS numbers). Show Less
