In memory of Tom Warner, RAL and ASP created a graduate student visitor opportunity combining research and service to society through mentoring and education. WISE Project Topic: WISE Project Topic: Improving Climate Change Communication, social science study of a sensitive topic.

Halaby Fellowship: A tribute to Najeeb Halaby’s legacy that builds on his contributions to aviation meteorology.

Arman’s focus under the Halaby Fellowship includes modeling of transoceanic aircraft’s deviation maneuvers due to convective weather events and finding effective convective weather avoidance strategies based on using NCAR’s Convective Diagnosis Oceanic (CDO) and Cloud Top Height (CTH) weather products.

Arman is a Ph.D. candidate in  the Air Transportation Systems Laboratory at  Virginia Tech
