Biography: Stuart C. Schwartz was born in New York City on July 12, 1939. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Aeronautical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., in 1961, and the Ph.D. degree from the Information and Control Engineering Program, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1966. During 1961-62, he was at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on orbit estimation and telemetry. Since Sept. 1966 he has been a member of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. During the academic year 1972-73, he was a John S. Guggenheim Fellow and a Visiting Associate Professor at the Dept. of Electrical Engineering, The Technion, Haifa, Israel. During the year 1980-81, he was a member of the technical staff at the Radio Research Laboratory, Bell Laboratories. He was a visiting Professor at Dartmouth and the University of California, Berkeley, during 1989-90.
Membership in Societies: Sigma Gamma Tau, Phi Kappa Phi, Sigma Xi, IEEE, IMS
