Margaret Stroebe is an Emeritus Professor at Utrecht University, specializing in bereavement research.

Her current research interests focus on theoretical and empirical evaluations within the bereavement area, including the efficacy of interventions and the health consequences of grief. Stroebe has been recognized for her contributions, receiving honors such as an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium, and a Scientific Research Award from the American Association of Death Education and Counseling in the U.S.A.
