Professional Bio

Brian Gore has been applying his human factors expertise to address agency needs in various roles since joining NASA in 1998, using simulation and computational modeling methodologies.

Brian currently serves as scientific advisor on research for inclusion across several scientific disciplines. He coordinates with NASA program managers and scientists across centers to plan and integrate tasks that balance resources with scientific goals and objectives. Brian joined HRP’s Space Human Factors Engineering portfolio in 2006, studying crew workload for long-duration mission operations for Project Constellation. Brian moved from research into portfolio management in 2014, then back into scientific management in 2020. 

Brian received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, a master’s degree in Computer Systems and Human Factors Engineering from San Jose State University in California, and a doctorate in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto. Brian serves on several international standards and journal review committees.
