Dustin Schroeder
Associate Professor of Geophysics, of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioDustin Schroeder is an Associate 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.
Schroeder 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.
Schroeder 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, Schroeder 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. -
