Janet D. Scheel is an American physicist whose research concerns pattern formation and turbulence in Rayleigh–Bénard convection.[1] She is Ezra Frederick Scattergood Professor of Physics at Occidental College, and chair of the Department of Physics at Occidental.[2]
Scheel majored in physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, graduating in 1991. After a 1994 master's degree at Cornell University,[3] she completed a Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology in 2007, with the dissertation Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection,[3][4] supervised by Michael C. Cross.[4]
