Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones was educated at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. He has worked on modelling the processing of metals and has done research into the properties of low mass stars and brown dwarfs. He is a senior staff member at the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Heidelberg, where he leads a group working on the analysis of data from the Gaia survey mission. He also teaches statistics and physics at Universität Heidelberg. His main scientific interests are statistical inference, stars and our Galaxy, and the impact of astronomical phenomena on the Earth.
