BIOGRAPHY: Born in Gary,
Indiana, Eyad Atallah saw his first tornado at the age of 8 as he and
his family were driving to visit relatives in Detroit, Michigan. From
that moment on, he was hooked on the weather and spent a good portion
of his free time trying to learn about and understand the weather.
After getting his undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia
in Environmental Science, he first worked for the National Weather
Service's Joint Agriculture and Weather Facility in Washington D.C. and
was the first intern given the responsibility of briefing US Department
of Agriculture officials pertaining to expected weather and crop
conditions in other parts of the world. After that, he went on to work
at WRC-TV in Washington, under then American Meteorological Society
President, Bob Ryan. After two years at the TV station, Eyad decided to
pursue a post-secondary education and went to the University of Albany,
where he received his Masters and Ph. D. degrees under the advisement
of Dr. Lance Bosart. During his graduate education, Eyad became a
successful tornado chaser, observing 11 tornadoes over 6 storm chases
from 1998-2003 and led a television crew on a chase in 2000. After
graduating from Albany, he became a Post-Doctoral Fellow at McGill
University, where his duties quickly expanded to include teaching
several classes. Eyad has published several papers while at McGill,
with topics ranging from extratropical transition, to heavy
precipitation processes, to wind-channeling and freezing rain in the
St. Lawrence River Valley. Also, during his time at McGill, Eyad has
taken a class into the field tornado chasing, and has participated in
two successful outreach missions to aboriginal communities in the
Canadian Arctic, concerning the processes and implications of climate
change. Awards: AMS graduate student fellowship, Bernie Vonnegut award for excellence in teaching, selection for the Hurricane and Tropical Meteorology Colloquium. |
