Robert C. Spindel (S'63-M'70-SM'88-F'91) received the B.E. degree in electrical engineering from The Cooper Union, New York, NY, in 1965 and the M.S., M.Phil, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Yale University, New Haven, CT, in 1966, 1968, and 1971, respectively.
During 1971, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA. In 1972, he joined the Scientific Staff of the Institution's Department of Ocean Engineering. He was appointed Chairman of the Department in 1982. In 1987, he joined the University of Washington, Seattle, where he holds professorships in Electrical Engineering and Oceanography and is the Director of the Applied Physics Laboratory.
Dr. Spindel was awarded the A.B. Wood Medal by the British Institute of Acoustics in 1981, the Gano Dunn Award from The Cooper Union in 1988, and the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society's Technical Achievement Award in 1990. He is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and the Marine Technology Society. He served as President of the latter organization from 1983 to 1985, and has been a member of the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society administrative committee and an Associate Editor of IEEE JOURNAL OF OCEANIC ENGINEERING for many years. He is presently a member of the National Research Council's Naval Studies Board and the Naval Research Advisory Committee.
