Emeritus professor of physics Dr. Roederer taught students at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks for 15 years, served as the dean of the college of environmental sciences for four years and was director of the university's Geophysical Institute for nine years. Between 1987 and 1992, he also developed and taught an innovative course on plasma physics with a special emphasis on the correct visualization and description of collisionless plasmas and their physical properties. Currently an honorary affiliate professor in the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado since 2017, Dr. Roederer has devoted 50 years to the field.
Dr. Roederer's research interests have included space physics, psychoacoustics, science policy and information theory. He has conducted pioneering research on solar cosmic rays, the theory of the Earth's radiation belts, neural networks for pitch processing and the foundations of information theory. An elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Geophysical Union, from which he was presented with a 2000 Edward A. Flinn III Award, Dr. Roederer is also a longtime member, honorary member and corresponding member of several other professional organizations relative to his field.
Born in Trieste, Italy, Dr. Roederer and his family lived in Vienna, Austria when he was just a child. Emigrating to Argentina at the age of 10, he completed his education, which included a Doctor of Science in physical-mathematical sciences at the University of Buenos Aires. Working in the field shortly thereafter as a research scientist for the Max Planck Institute in Gottingen, West Germany in the early 1950s, Dr. Roederer later served as a group leader for the Argentine Atomic Energy Commission in Buenos Aires during the mid-to-late 1950s.
By 1959, Dr. Roederer had begun his career in academia, teaching at his alma mater, the University of Buenos Aires as a professor of physics. Relocating to the U.S. in 1967, he was accepted to teach physics at the University of Denver where he remained for 10 years. Dr. Roederer also served as a visiting staff member at the Los Alamos National Laboratory between 1969 and 1985 and served several years as the chairman of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission and senior advisor for the International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste.
A senior research fellow of the National Academy of Science at NASA from 1964 to 1966, Dr. Roederer has been the recipient of four NASA Achievement Awards related to his participation in the Galileo Project, which was the mission to Jupiter of a spacecraft that orbited the planet for several years. As a U.S. scientist, he was also a principal investigator of dozens of research grants and contracts. Dr. Roederer is a member of the National Academies of Sciences of Austria and Argentina, and a member of the World Academy of Sciences.
The author of several books and articles in professional journals, Dr. Roederer's textbook "Mecánica Elemental" was published in Buenos Aires in 1962. In the years since, "Mecánica Elemental" has been printed many times and continues to serve as a classic textbook used in many Latin American universities. More recently, Dr. Roederer released the fourth edition of "Physics and Psychophysics of Music" in 2008.
An accomplished organist, Dr. Roederer is happily married with four children, all of whom were born in Argentina. He speaks fluent Spanish, German and Italian, speaks French and reads Portuguese. Notably, Dr. Roederer has been cited in every edition of Who's Who in America since 1987, as well as many more editions of Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in the West and Who's Who in the World.
In recognition of outstanding contributions to his profession and the Marquis Who's Who community, Juan Roederer, DSc, has been featured on the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement website. Please visit www.ltachievers.com for more information about this honor.
