Early life and education

Schumaker was born and raised in Wisconsin, near Lake Michigan.[2] She wanted to be a vet but was awarded a scholarship to study physics at California Polytechnic State University.[2] She loved mathematics, and moved to California Institute of Technology for her graduate studies, earning a PhD in 1985.[3] She worked under the supervision of Kip Thorne.[3] Over six papers, her PhD thesis considered theoretical investigations into nonlinear quantum optics.[4] She developed the mathematical theory of toroidal oscillations in fully relativistic spherical stellar models and worked on homodyne detection.[4][5] Her work considered two-photon physics using quadrature phase amplitudes, a technique now known as the Caves–Schumaker formalism, which has become a standard mathematical tool in optomechanics, quantum optics and gravitational wave science.[6][7][8] She worked at Caltech as a postdoctoral research fellow for a year, before moving to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1986.[9] In 1988 she was awarded the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award for her contributions to quantum optics.[10][11][12] Schumaker trained as a pilot in 1996 and flew for Continental Airlines.[13] She became a Federal Aviation Administration instructor in the mid nineties. She developed the Precision Optical INTerferometer in space (POINTS) that was proposed for the ASEPS-1 mission.[14][15]

Career

Schumaker conceptualised the LISA Pathfinder experiment at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[16][17][18] She worked in the design and development team of the interferometer.[2][19][20][21][22] By 2008 Schumaker had completed three mock data challenges, demonstrating the ability of the device to deal with the Galactic foreground and achieve accurate recovery of EMRI signals.[23] The pathfinder contains six gold-platinum cube proof masses, and Schumaker predicted that "a nudge equivalent to the air pressure from a human whisper 40 kilometers away would tip a cube out of whack".[24] She worked on a new technique to monitor changes in carbon found in soil; combining field-delineated spatial units, remote sensing, soil residues and simulations models.[25][26] Schumaker retired from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2011.[13]

Wings of Care

Schumaker founded the nonprofit "On Wings of Care" in 2010, which looks to promote the welfare of animals. Schumaker uses her skills as a pilot to assess animal habitats, helping with rescues and rehabilitation. She joined the Board of Directors of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.[27] Since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, Schumaker has flown over the Gulf of Mexico for over 600 hours, locating and protecting animals.[28][29] She flies a Cessna called "Bessie".[2] She is often the first responder for pollution incidents.[28] In August 2011 she identified oil globules on the surface of the ocean which had erupted from the broken well of Deepwater Horizon.[2][30] She published the book The Story of Pellie Lou: A Pelican Who Survived the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill in 2015.[31] She has returned to the oil spill with various news organisations, and supported the local community in seeking justice.[32][33][34][35] In 2018 she flew over the coastline of Louisiana to evaluate the fallout from Hurricane Katrina.[36] She has since studied hydrocarbon seepage in the Mississippi Canyon.[37]
