Edwin King Stodola (October 31, 1914 – April 6, 1992) was an American radio engineer.
Starting in 1941, and continuing through World War II, he worked at the Evans Signal Laboratory near Belmar, New Jersey.
Led by John H. DeWitt, Jr., this group consisted of a five-man team with Stodola as the chief scientist.
[4] During a test on January 10, 1946, this team became the first to bounce a radio signal off the Moon and detect the resulting echo (Earth-Moon-Earth or EME).
[9] In 2017 a posthumously-awarded plaque was mounted on the InfoAge Science History Learning Center “Wall of Honor” citing his contributions to Project Diana and the development of long-range radar.
