Dr. Sean Casey is a SOFIA project senior scientist. In this position, Dr. Casey coordinates the design and development of the nine first-light science instruments, and insures that as they become ready, they will meet their performance goals and “fit” into the observatory: physically, electronically, and operationally. This includes use of common observing modes, common paths to FAA flight certification, and a shared software and archiving environment. Dr. Casey’s personal research interests include the study of interstellar dust grain composition and their resultant optical absorption and emission properties. SOFIA is the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy which is managed for NASA by the Universities Space Research Association (USRA). Dr. Casey did his undergraduate work at Knox College in Galesburg, IL and his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. He has worked at both NASA Goddard and Ames. While at Chicago and Goddard, he did a considerable amount of observing aboard the Kuiper Airborne Observatory which is the predecessor to SOFIA.
