Timothy Bonin is an assistant leader in the Air Traffic Control and Weather Systems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. He earned his Ph.D. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma in 2015, specializing on observing the planetary boundary layer using both in situ and remote sensing technology, including unmanned aerial systems. Since joining MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 2018, he has contributed to several programs including the NextGen Weather Processor (NWP), the Portable Aircraft Derived Weather Observation System (PADWOS), and the FAA’s Weather Observations Improvement program. Additionally, he has led several efforts that include developing a numerical weather model blending capability for the United States Air Force and enhancing Doppler lidar measurement capabilities for highly localized aviation weather situational awareness. His current interests center on novel and improved weather sensing and forecasting capabilities, particularly for aviation applications including the emerging advanced air mobility sector.
