Daniel H. Schaubert (S'68–M'74–SM'79–F'89) is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UMass Amherst. He was previously director of the Center for Advanced Sensor and Communication Antennas, a joint venture of UMass and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. He was an early contributor to design and analysis of microstrip patch antennas and arrays. Several of his antenna designs have been used in military and civilian systems for radars, radiometers and communications, and he has designed low-cost antennas for commercial cellular and local area network products. From 1989 to 1990, he worked in England at Plessey Roke Manor Laboratories on antenna designs for ground-based and airborne radar systems.

Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Massachusetts, he was the Lead Scientist for the analysis of electromagnetic problems at the National Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Rockville, MD, and also Senior Engineer at the U.S. Army Harry Diamond Laboratories, Adelphi, MD. He shares six U.S. patents for his design work. He co-edited the book Microstrip Antennas (New York: IEEE Press, 1995).,Dr. Schaubert is a Member of Commission B of the International Scientific Radio Union (URSI) and of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE), London, U.K., Professional Network on Antennas and Propagation, and the Scientific Council of the ACE Antenna Center of Excellence. He has been elected twice to the Administrative Committee of the society and has been appointed to several offices of the AP-S AdCom including Secretary-Treasurer, Newsletter Editor, Distinguished Lecturer Program Coordinator, and Associate Editor of the Transactions. He was Program Chairman, Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Washington, DC Chapter of IEEE AP-S. He has worked with the organizing committees of the 1978, 1984, and 1996 annual symposiums, he chaired the Technical Program Committee for 2003 Phased Array Symposium, and he organizes the annual Antenna Applications Symposium at Allerton Park.
