Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Gunter is a director and professor specializing in satellite geodesy, orbital mechanics, and precise orbit determination with nine years in his current academic leadership track and a two-decade research career overall. He leads Georgia Tech’s Space Systems Design Laboratory, coordinating 9 faculty and over 90 graduate students to advance applications of satellites and airborne platforms for Earth and planetary science. His work blends rigorous system theory, parameter estimation and dense linear algebra with practical GPS/INS navigation and high-performance software—evidenced early on by developing a parallel least-squares solver for GRACE gravity recovery. A seasoned educator and mentor who has held faculty roles at TU Delft and UT Austin, he brings uncommon depth in turning complex space-mission data into scalable computational solutions. Based in Atlanta, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on software engineering to deliver precision positioning and orbit solutions used across research and applied space programs.
