- Principal Investigator: Remy Indebetouw, University of Virginia
- Co-Investigator: Brian Babler, U Wisconsin
| Brian Babler is an Associate Researcher at the University of
Wisconsin. He helped develop the Wisconsin IRAC pipeline, and
established himself as the resident stellar photometry expert. He
helps with data processing, trouble-shooting, and providing quality
assurance on the data products. Brian is also a member of
the GLIMPSE team.

- Co-Investigator: Francois Boulanger, IAS, Paris, France
- Co-Investigator: Chad Engelbracht, U Arizona
- Co-Investigator: Frederic Galliano, NASA Goddard
- Co-Investigator: Karl Gordon, STScI
| Karl Gordon is an Assistant Astronomer at Space Telescope Science
Institute. His main scientific research interests are in the field of
interstellar dust, including the observational properties of dust grains
(eg., extinction curves, Extended Red Emission, and infrared dust
emission) and radiative transfer in dusty systems (eg., reflection
nebulae and galaxies). The Magellanic Clouds are obvious bridges between
work on Milky Way dust and dust in other galaxies. He is the PI of the
SAGE-SMC team. Functionally, he helps with the MIPS reductions and
point source creation for SAGE-LMC and SAGE-SMC and leads the reduction
of the MIPS SED data and IRS extended source data for SAGE-Spec.

- Co-Investigator: Joe Hora, CfA
| Joseph L. Hora is the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) Project Scientist at the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He is a member of the team
that was responsible for building and calibrating the IRAC instrument on
the Spitzer Space Telescope. His research interests include star
formation, planetary nebulae, and infrared instrumentation.

- Co-Investigator: Suzanne Madden, CEA Saclay
| Suzanne Madden is a research scientist at the Service d'Astrophysique
(SAp) of the CEA in Saclay, France. She was on the ISOCAM instrument
team and is on the Herschel SPIRE and PACS teams and the Planck HFI
team. Her science interests include the interplay between star
formation and the ISM in the wide variety of galactic
environments. She studies the IR to mm properties of dust, the ionised
gas and photodissociation regions/molecular clouds. The LMC allows us
to zoom in on star formation and the ISM properties of our nearby
neighbor. Exploring the physical properties of the various components
of this well-resolved low metallicity galaxy in detail, will help us
understand the intrinsic properties of more distant, unresolved
galaxies.

- Co-Investigator: Marilyn Meade, U Wisconsin
| Marilyn Meade is a Researcher at the University of Wisconsin.
Marilyn has over 30 years experience processing data, starting with the
Orbiting Astronomical Observatory, and including the International
Ultraviolet Explorer, the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimetry
Experiment, the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and now the
Spitzer Space Telescope. Marilyn helped develop the Wisconsin
IRAC pipeline, and keeps it running 24 hours a day. She is
also a member of the GLIMPSE team.

- Co-Investigator: Margaret Meixner, StSci
| Margaret Meixner is the Principal Investigator of the SAGE
project. She is an Associate Astronomer at Space Telescope
Science Institute where she supports the James Webb Space
Telescope (JWST) project. She is a member of the science
team for Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on JWST. Her main
scientific interest is circumstellar matter found in the
youngest, forming stars and the oldest, dying stars. She
also has a long standing interest in building infrared
instrumentation. She will use the SAGE data to study the
nature of star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)
and the process of mass loss return by the evolved, dying
stellar population to the interstellar medium of the LMC.
