Brian T. Carcich

Brian T. Carcich received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Clarkson College of Technoloy in 1978. He worked in the petrochemical and nuclear power industries writing process control, simulation, and operator interface software. He moved to Cornell University working initially on the Galileo mission to Jupiter and several other NASA projects (Cassini, MOC, MGS, NEAR, Deep Impact/EPOXI, Stardust NExT) over a quarter century, primarily developing, implementing and maintaining scientific data centers, and applying the NAIF/SPICE package to modeling of spacecraft- and instrument-relative geometric tasks. For the past decade and a half he has also worked as a consultant with other organizations in the remote sensing industry and other missions, including New Horizons, OSIRISREx, Mars InSight, and Lucy. He has also dabbled in writing software for the video broadcast industry and returned to his chemical engineering roots writing ladder logic code for Programmable Logic Controllers.
