​​Dr. Travis Wilson is NOAA’s March Employee of the Month!

Travis Wilson

Travis is a Computer Scientist at the Global Systems Laboratory (GSL) in Boulder, Colorado. In December 2023, Dr. Wilson led the successful development and transition of the Dynamic Ensemble-based Scenarios for Impact Decision Support Systems (IDSS) (DESI) 3.0 release to all NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Forecast Offices. The DESI application, developed by GSL and supported by the NWS Office of Science and Technology Integration (OSTI), is a unique interactive visualization platform that provides a powerful interface for users to interact with probabilistic meteorological ensemble data and extract customized information to help meet specific partner needs. Completing this project demonstrated Dr. Wilson’s technical expertise, leadership skills and remarkable determination. Dr. Wilson is a tremendous asset to GSL and NOAA and is deeply invested in creating the best tools and capabilities to benefit our agency, its partners, and the public.

Congratulations, Travis!
