Henrik Schmidt was born in Denmark in 1950. He received the M.S. degree in civil engineering and the Ph.D. degree in experimental mechanics from the Technical University of Denmark in 1974 and 1978, respectively.

Holding the position of Research Fellow from 1978 to 1980 at the Technical University of Denmark, and from 1980 to 1982 at Risoe National Laboratory, Denmark, he worked on numerical modeling of wave propagation and scattering phenomena in relation to nondestructive testing of structures. From 1982 to 1987, he was a Scientist and then Senior Scientist at SACLANT Undersea Research Centre, Italy, where he developed the SAFARI code for modeling seismo-acoustic propagation in ocean waveguides. In 1987, he joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, where he is currently Professor of Ocean Engineering and Associate Department Head in the Department of Ocean Engineering. His primary research interest is the interaction of underwater sound with seismic waves in the seabed and the Arctic ice cover. Other interests include computational acoustics and matched field processing and the use of acoustics in autonomous oceanographic sampling networks.

Prof. Schmidt is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a member of the Society of Exploration Geophysiscists.
