[edit] Biography

D.A. Schauer received his doctor of science (Sc. D.) degree from Johns Hopkins University and is a diplomate of the American Board of Health Physics. He received M.S. and B.S. degrees from Georgetown and Liberty Universities, respectively. Prior to being elected NCRP secretary and treasurer, and appointed Executive Director, Dr. Schauer served in various scientific and leadership positions as an officer in the U.S. Navy (1984 to 2004). His primary research interests include thermoluminescent dosimetry and electron paramagnetic resonance biodosimetry. He is a member of numerous organizations including the American Society of Association Executives, the American College of Radiology, and the Health Physics Society.

Dr. Schauer has published a number of scientific articles, proceedings and reports individually and in collaboration with fellow scientists and students. He also contributed a book chapter to the "Hanbook of Radioactivity Analysis" published by Elsevier Academic Press (2003).
