School of Business Chair Named Fulbright Scholar For one CBSI faculty member, the Fall 2023 semester was marked by plenty of travel — and plenty of snow. After being named a U.S. Fulbright Scholar, Dr. Jules O. Yimga journeyed to Estonia to teach and conduct research at the Estonian Aviation Academy.
Yimga was also able to travel to surrounding countries during his time abroad. Of the 20+ locations he visited, Yimga’s favorite? Uzbekistan, in part due to its unique architecture. Established in 1946, the Fulbright Scholarships are awarded by the U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. The program provides funds for U.S. citizens to study and conduct research and teach English abroad.
In addition to teaching a class on airline network planning during his time in Europe, Yimga studied the risk factors associated with drone operations. “The recent growth in drone use brings economic opportunities, but it also opens the door to illegal usage,” Yimga said. “I [looked at] what kind of interventions could be designed to protect high-risk venues and fend off malicious users.” “Having Dr. Yimga named a Fulbright Scholar was wonderful news for the university, and everyone at the Prescott Campus is very proud of his achievement,” said Pauline Filemoni, director of the Center for International Programs and Services.
