Ph.D. student James Faghmous was awarded a National Science Foundation Nordic Research Opportunity Grant (NSF NRO) to conduct research at one of the world's top climate research institutes, the Bjerknes Center for Climate Research (BCCR) in Bergen, Norway. While at BCCR, Faghmous will research the effects future North Atlantic storms might have on marine ecosystems.
Faghmous is currently working on developing novel machine learning algorithms to study climate change and its effects on Atlantic hurricanes.
The NSF NRO program is a competitive grant open to NSF graduate research fellows. The NSF covers relocation costs, while the Research Council of Norway will provide a stipend for the duration of the visit. Faghmous, who is also the co-founder and CEO of the local nonprofit, MuslimBuddy, Inc., will begin his visit in September 2011.
