Biography:

Ryan Argenti is a junior Meteorology major, while pursuing minors in Data Science and Media Arts Production. Since he was young, Ryan has always had a passion for severe weather and tornadoes and has always wanted to see these forces of nature up close. With the development and creation of TILTTING, it has given him the opportunity to do just that: Getting up close and personal with Mother Nature! Since September 2021, with the help of other students and faculty, he has helped to develop, manage, and facilitate Project TILTTING. One of his goals while leading and partaking in TILTTING is to deploy the prototyped tornado probe, the TILTTING-23 probe. Ryan’s plans after graduating Millersville are to attend graduate school to expand upon the project, so that TILTTING has the opportunity to become a wider scaled, multi-university collaboration. Beyond the project, Ryan is an Eagle Scout from Troop 83 in Leola, PA, and currently resides in Levittown, PA. To name just a few of his interests, Ryan enjoys working out, watching sports, listening to music, playing his guitar, watching movies, and hanging out with his friends and especially his family. While completing this project, Ryan has helped build, develop, and program the TILTTING-23 probe and will oversee its deployment. Ryan also has extensive experience with the Windsond interface and will help to lead and facilitate Windsond deployment/operations in the field.
