Biography
Armin received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from the University of Arizona (2003) and a Ph.D in chemical engineering from the California Institute of Technology (2008). He completed a postdoc with the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), which involved research with Colorado State University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He has been a professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona since 2009, with courtesy appointments in Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences, the College of Optical Sciences, and the College of Public Health. Armin is both a University Distinguished Scholar and a da Vinci Fellow.

Interests
Research
Armin's research focuses on the effect of aerosol particles on the environment, clouds and rainfall, climate, and public health/welfare. A suite of synergistic methods are used for this research, including laboratory experiments, ground and airborne field measurements, modeling, and remote sensing observations. Since 2004, he has participated in 15 airborne field projects, including six as a mission PI with the CIRPAS Twin Otter (sponsored by ONR). Currently, Armin is involved with a multi-year NASA project called CAMP2EX (Cloud and Aerosol Monsoonal Processes-Philippines Experiment; https://espo.nasa.gov/camp2ex/content/CAMP2Ex) and is serving as the PI of a NASA Earth Venture Suborbital-3 (EVS-3) mission called ACTIVATE (Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment; https://activate.larc.nasa.gov/).
