... Dr. Ardanuy's research and development career extends across net-centric and system-of-systems concepts, telepresence-telesciencetelerobotics, tropical meteorology, the Earth's radiation budget and climate, satellite instrument calibration and characterization, remote sensing applications and systems engineering, scientific applications researchto-operational transition, and validation of environmental observations.

... government reviewer of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment reports. He currently serves on the International GEWEX Radiation Panel, whose goal is to bring together theoretical and experimental insights into the radiative interactions and climate feedbacks associated with cloud processes, including the effects of water vapor within the atmosphere and at the Earth's surface.

... He is a member of the NOAA Council on Longterm Climate Monitoring, NASA's Global Aerosol Climatology Project Science Team, NASA's PICASSO-CENA Science Team, the Science Steering Committee of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's Center for Clouds, Chemistry and Climate, and the NASA CERES Science Team. He formerly served on the NRC Committee on Meteorological Analysis, Prediction, and Research, and currently serves on the NRC's Climate Research Committee.

... Weidman is the director of the National Research Council's Board on Mathematical Sciences and Their Applications (BMSA) .  He joined the NRC in 1989 with the Board on Mathematical Sciences and moved to the Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology in 1992.  In 1996 he established a new board to conduct annual peer reviews of the Army Research Laboratory, which conducts a broad array of science, engineering, and human factors research and analysis, and he later directed a similar board that reviews the National Institute of Standards and Technology.  He has been full-time with the BMSA since June of 2004.  During his NRC career, he has staffed studies on a wide variety of topics related to mathematical, chemical, and materials sciences, laboratory assessment, and science and technology policy.  His current focus is on building up the NRC's capabilities and portfolio related to all areas of analysis and computational science.  He holds bachelor degrees in mathematics and materials science from Northwestern University and M.S.
