Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Dustin Schroeder. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Dustin Schroeder's research focuses on advancing the scientific and technical foundations of geophysical ice penetrating radar for observing and understanding the interaction between ice and water in the solar system. He is primarily interested in subglacial and englacial conditions of rapidly changing ice sheets and their contribution to global sea level rise. Additionally, he is developing a secondary focus on exploration of icy moons. His expertise encompasses the development and application of science-optimized geophysical radar systems, considering the radio glaciologist perspective to tackle problems in Earth system science and radar system engineering. He is actively engaged in a flow of information throughout the observational science process, from instrument and experiment design to data processing, analysis, and modeling inference. This multidisciplinary approach allows him to test system-scale and process-level hypotheses, integrating science and engineering to effectively address questions in Earth and planetary science.
The Computer Science department emphasizes research potential. GRE General is currently optional but recommended for some tracks.
