Shawn Milrad
Dr. Shawn Milrad has taught synoptic-dynamic meteorology, weather forecasting, and climate dynamics courses at three universities since 2009, including at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University since 2013. He has also developed innovative student forecasting initiatives and severe weather field courses. The author is strongly committed to the proper teaching and training of weather analysis and forecasting concepts to diverse international audiences. Dr. Milrad’s research focuses on extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods, severe convection, and ice storms. In 2023–2024, Dr. Milrad was chosen for a prestigious Fulbright Scholar Award, through which he is currently a guest researcher at the University of Bergen in Norway, studying extreme heat and associated human health impacts. Much of Dr. Milrad’s passion comes from educating and mentoring the next generation of atmospheric scientists and weather-adjacent professionals, such as those in the aviation and emergency management fields. Of Dr. Milrad’s 33 peer-reviewed publications since 2009, 11 had first authors who were his undergraduate research assistants.
