Daniel Norbert Congreve
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering
BioDan Congreve received his B.S. and M.S. from Iowa State in 2011, working with Vik Dalal studying defect densities of nano-crystalline and amorphous silicon. He received his PhD from MIT in 2015, studying under Marc Baldo. His thesis work focused on photonic energy conversion using singlet fission and triplet fusion as a downconverting and upconverting process, respectively. He joined the Rowland Institute at Harvard University in August 2016, where his current research efforts focus on controlling light and energy at the nanoscale. He will start as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford in Fall 2020.

BioMy research focuses on resolving the near-surface and internal structure of the continental ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica using airborne ice penetrating radar systems. I am particularly interested in understanding the coupling between firn structure and near-surface hydrology in Greenland, the evolution of this system in a warming climate, and its influence on the large scale ice sheet mass balance and hydrology. Additionally, I am interested in deep englacial structure as a reflection of past climate processes and ice sheet age structure. My approach to these questions involves the synthesis of electromagnetic theory, radar signal and system constraints, and in-situ observations to develop both forward and inverse methods that link physical conditions of interest within the ice sheets to their expression in radar sounding data. Applying these tools to the analysis of radar sounding data allows me to place observational constraints on state of the englacial system at scales and resolutions that bridge the gap between field measurements and numerical models. In addition, I have applied some of these same techniques to study the optimal system design parameters for future high altitude or satellite-based radar systems.
