Dr Rer Nat Habil Gilles Bailet

  • Lecturer in Space Technology (Systems Power & Energy)

Biography

Dr Gilles Bailet is a Lecturer in Space Technology at the University of Glasgow, leading research on innovative technologies for future space missions, including in-space manufacturing of infrastructures, sustainable space systems and planetary exploration. His group develops and validates manufacturing approaches and mission-enabling hardware for operation in space-representative environments, with the objective of reducing launch constraints, improving resilience and supporting more circular use of space resources. A central theme of his work is space sustainability: designing technologies, test methods and operational approaches that reduce risk, waste and environmental impact across the mission lifecycle. He also prioritises public value, building bridges between society, the arts and the scientific community through interdisciplinary collaborations and engagement programmes that make space engineering accessible and relevant to diverse communities. His work has been communicated to wide audiences through a high-impact media release and subsequent coverage.
