Michael Saunders
Professor (Research) of Management Science and Engineering, Emeritus
BioSaunders develops mathematical methods for solving large-scale constrained optimization problems and large systems of equations. He also implements such methods as general-purpose software to allow their use in many areas of engineering, science, and business. He is co-developer of the large-scale optimizers MINOS, SNOPT, SQOPT, PDCO, the dense QP and NLP solvers LSSOL, QPOPT, NPSOL, and the linear equation solvers SYMMLQ, MINRES, MINRES-QLP, LSQR, LSMR, LSLQ, LNLQ, LSRN, LUSOL.

Dustin Schroeder
Professor of Geophysics, of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioDustin Schroeder is a Professor of Geophysics and of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. His research primarily focuses on observing and understanding the role of continental ice sheets and their contribution to the rate of sea level rise. A growing secondary focus of his work is the subsurface exploration of icy worlds. He also works on the development, use, and analysis of geophysical radar systems optimized to observe hypothesis-specific phenomena.
He serves on the Science Team for the REASON radar instrument on NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and previously co-chaired the mission’s Interior Working Group. At Stanford, he serves as Associate Chair of Geophysics, Associate Chair for Undergraduate Education in Electrical Engineering, Faculty Director for COLLEGE 102: Citizenship in the 21st Century, part of Stanford’s new first-year core curriculum, and Chair of the Faculty Senate. Beyond Stanford, he serves as Vice President of the International Glaciological Society and has served for more than two decades with the National Science Olympiad, including as chair of its national Earth and Space Sciences committee and as a member of its Executive Board.
Schroeder is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and a Senior Member of IEEE, and is a recipient of the AGU James B. Macelwane Medal and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. His teaching has been recognized with awards across Stanford and through his selection as a Bass University Fellow in Undergraduate Education.
Before joining Stanford, he was a Radar Systems Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. He earned his PhD in Geophysics from the University of Texas at Austin and holds a BS in Electrical Engineering and a BA in Physics from Bucknell University. Between his undergraduate and graduate studies, he worked as a Platform Hardware Engineer at Freescale Semiconductor. -

Luise Avelina Seeker
Senior Basic Life Research Scientist, Bioengineering
BioLuise Seeker is a trained vet from Berlin, Germany with a strong interest in researching ageing at a cellular level. She obtained a PhD in Genomics from the University of Edinburgh in 2018 for studying telomeres, their heritability and their power to predict lifespan (supervised by Profs. Georgios Banos, Dan Nussey, Mike Coffey and Bruce Whitelaw). She joined Prof. Anna Williams' lab at the University of Edinburgh as a postdoc and investigated transcriptional changes with ageing in the human central nervous system.
