Brian Argrow

Brian Maurice Argrow is an American aerospace engineer and Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Currently, he serves as the Chair of the department. Argrow specializes in the field of hypersonic aerodynamics, rarefied gas dynamics, dense gas dynamics, and UAVs.

Argrow's research team later collaborated with researchers at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln to intercept supercells with an Unmanned Aerial Systems for the first time.

Through funding from the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), Argrow's research team flew a UAS across northeast Colorado to collect sample outflows from several supercells.

In 2014, Argrow completed a semester sabbatical at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NSSL at the National Weather Center.

Upon returning from his sabbatical, Agrow was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics as someone who had contributed and advanced the aerospace industry.

In February 2022, Argrow was elected a Member of the National Academy of Engineering for "contributions to unmanned aerial systems capable of penetrating severe storms and leadership in their application to scientific observation."

He was elected as member of the Euorpean Academy of Engineering in 2018.
