Joan T. Schmelz is the Associate Director for Science and Public Outreach at the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) for the Universities Space Research Association (USRA). Previously, Schmelz was the Deputy Director of Arecibo Observatory and the Director of USRA Operations at Arecibo from 2015 through 2018. Before joining USRA, Schmelz was an NSF Program Director in the Astronomical Sciences Division, where she oversaw the Astronomy & Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship program, and a professor of physics at the University of Memphis from 1996 to 2017. Schmelz's research focus is heliophysics, specifically investigating the coronal heating problem as well as the properties and dynamics of the solar atmosphere. She uses spectroscopic and image data in the X-ray and u

  • Joan T. Schmelz ha sido profesora de física en la Universidad de Memphis desde 1996. El principal objeto de estudio de Schmelz es el calentamiento de la corona solar, las propiedades y dinámica de la atmósfera solar. Para realizar sus investigaciones utiliza espectroscopia y datos de imágenes en diferentes longitudes de onda (rayos-X y ultravioleta). Los datos los obtienen a través de satélites y cohetes de la NASA.​ Ha publicado más de 80 artículos en revistas científicas de referencia y es autora de tres libros. Joan Schmelz también ha sido miembro de la Sociedad Astronómica Americana (AAS´s), formando parte del comité encargado de monitorizar el estado de la mujer en la Astronomía durante 6 años (dos plazos).​ (es)

Schmelz's research focus is heliophysics, specifically investigating the coronal heating problem as well as the properties and dynamics of the solar atmosphere. She uses spectroscopic and image data in the X-ray and ultraviolet wavelength ranges obtained from NASA satellites and rockets. She has published over 80 refereed scientific journal articles and authored three books. Schmelz was the chair of the American Astronomical Society's (AAS's) Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy for 6 years (two terms) and has been the Vice President of the AAS since June 2018. In December 2015, Schmelz was named by the scientific journal Nature as one of the ten people who mattered in 2015 because of her significant work as a voice for women in science, specifically because of her behind-the-scences efforts to expose sexual harassment in science.
