Margot Gerritsen

Professor of Energy Resources Engineering and WiDS Co-Director
Stanford University

Picture
Margot was born and raised in the Netherlands. After receiving her MS degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Delft, she moved to the U.S. in search of hillier and sunnier places. In 1996 Margot received her Ph.D. in Scientific Computing and Computational Mathematics at Stanford University. Before returning to Stanford in 2001, she spent nearly five years in Auckland, New Zealand as a faculty member in the Department of Engineering Science.
Margot is a professor in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford, interested in computer simulation and mathematical analysis of engineering processes. From 2010 to 2018, she directed the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering. Since 2015, She's the Senior Associate Dean for Educational Affairs in the School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences.

​
She specializes in renewable and fossil energy production. Margot is also active in coastal ocean dynamics and yacht design, as well as several areas in computational mathematics including search algorithm design and matrix computations.

Margot is also the host of the WiDS Podcast series, where she interviews women from around the world and across the data science field, speaking about their work, their journeys, and lessons learned along the way.
