Rate My Professor Marc Stettler

Stettler earned his PhD in Engineering from the University of Cambridge in 2013, with a dissertation on aviation emissions of black carbon and other air pollutants that received the Outstanding PhD Dissertation prize from the Department of Engineering. He also holds an MEng in Civil Engineering. Following his PhD, he served as a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge before joining Imperial College London as Lecturer in Transport and the Environment in 2015, advancing to Senior Lecturer, Reader, and Professor. Among his honors are the Imperial College London President's Award for Outstanding Early Career Researcher in 2018 and the Royal Aeronautical Society Written Paper Prize in 2018. Key publications include 'Mitigating the Climate Forcing of Aircraft Contrails by Small-Scale Diversions' (Environmental Science & Technology, 2020), 'The importance of non-CO2 aviation impacts in climate policy' (various co-authored works), and studies on sustainable aviation fuel flights reducing contrail radiative forcing by 95%. Stettler's contributions have shaped aviation climate mitigation strategies and informed policies toward net-zero transport emissions.
