Biography[]

Kosinski attended the Starfleet Technical Services Academy on Mars. (DS9 novel: The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko)

Using a series of equations, Kosinski was able to make a measurable increase in propulsion with the starships USS Ajax and USS Fearless. His warp drive efficiency upgrade experiments brought him to the USS Enterprise-D in 2364, where he was to test different ways of entering warp speed and different intermix ratios. It later was revealed that it was his mysterious assistant, The Traveler, who was affecting the upgrades and not him. (TNG episode: "Where No One Has Gone Before")

Dexter Remmick criticised Picard and his crew for apparently letting Kosinski ride roughshod over them. (TNG episode: "Coming of Age")

Wesley Crusher tested a theory of Kosinski’s in 2367. (TNG episode: "Remember Me")

Geordi LaForge considered Kosinski, Paul Manheim and Bruce Maddox to be jerks and prima donnas. (TNG novel: Q-Space)

From 2383 onwards he worked as a data analyst on Memory Alpha. (PRM novel: In the Heart of Chaos)

In 2381, the malevolent artificial intelligence Badgey created a drill for USS Cerritos personnel based on Kosinski's incident with the USS Enterprise-D. It involved adjustments to Cetacean ops technology that Kimolu was uncomfortable with. Badgey cast a female Romulan hologram as Kosinski and a Galardonian as her assistant. The assistant was able to speak in Kimolu's language. (LD video game: The Badgey Directive episode: Where No One Wants To Go Again)
