Brian Carnes Begins Position as Lawrence Livermore’s ASC Deputy Program Leader
Brian Carnes assumed the role of ASC Deputy Program Leader for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) on April 1, 2009, replacing retiring ASC Deputy Lynn Kissel. Brian also will continue to manage the Multiprogrammatic and Institutional Computing (M&IC) program at LLNL as he has for the past six years. With more than 24 years at LLNL, Brian has spent most of that time in Livermore Computing (LC), serving in various functional and programmatic leadership roles.
“I’m very pleased that Brian was willing to accept this demanding and occasionally thankless position,” said ASC Program Leader at LLNL Michel McCoy. “Brian has been a division leader since 2001 and has provided leadership founded on the principle that the LC is here to serve the scientists and science … that this virtue, in itself, will support all the missions. He has done well.”
In his new role, Brian will serve ASC in many ways, including management of the numerous little details that keep the program running efficiently for the ASC program and the country.
“I’ve worked in the ASC Program since it began, and I’m happy to be taking on this important role,” said Brian. “I’m looking forward to the challenges it will bring.”
“What I’ve enjoyed most about the Lab and ASC,” said Brian, “is that it has offered interesting and challenging career opportunities while still allowing family balance, as summed up in one of my favorite quotes—The hardest thing about juggling career and family is knowing which balls are rubber and which are glass.”
