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, where he is also affiliated with Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment, Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, and Institute for Human-Centered AI. 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. His research group aspires to approach problems from both an earth system science and radar system engineering perspective.
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, and Faculty Director for COLLEGE 102: Citizenship in the 21st Century, part of Stanford’s Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE) first-year core curriculum. He also serves as Chair of the Stanford Faculty Senate. Beyond the university, he serves as Vice President of the International Glaciological Society and has served for more than two decades with the National Science Olympiad, where he chairs the national Earth and Space Sciences committee.
He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, a Senior Member of IEEE, and recipient of the AGU James B. Macelwane Medal and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. His contributions to education have been recognized through teaching awards in Stanford’s School of Engineering and Doerr School of Sustainability, his selection as a Bass University Fellow in Undergraduate Education, and national recognition for leadership in undergraduate and K–12 science education.
Prior to joining Stanford, he was a Radar Systems Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. He received 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. -
Debbie Senesky
Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, of Electrical Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Photon Science
BioDebbie G. Senesky is an Associate Professor at Stanford University in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department and the Electrical Engineering Department. In addition, she is the Principal Investigator of the EXtreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory (XLab). Her research interests include the development of nanomaterials for extreme harsh environments, high-temperature electronics for Venus exploration, and microgravity synthesis of nanomaterials. In the past, she has held positions at GE Sensing (formerly known as NovaSensor), GE Global Research Center, and Hewlett Packard. She received the B.S. degree (2001) in mechanical engineering from the University of Southern California. She received the M.S. degree (2004) and Ph.D. degree (2007) in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Prof. Senesky is the Site Director of nano@stanford. She is currently the co-editor of two technical journals: IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems and Sensors. In recognition of her research, she received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2025, Emerging Leader Abie Award from AnitaB.org in 2018, Early Faculty Career Award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 2012, Gabilan Faculty Fellowship Award in 2012, and Sloan Ph.D. Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 2004.
Prof. Senesky's career path and research has been featured by Scientific American, Seeker, People Behind the Science podcast, The Future of Everything radio show, Space.com, and NPR's Tell Me More program.
