Schedler has written or co-authored 19 research articles, including one that appeared in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society and another in the Duke Mathematical Journal. He has given lectures at seminars and conferences at major universities in the US, Canada, and Europe. He also has mentored several undergraduates as well as an IMSA student, and has helped direct undergraduate reading and research programs at MIT and the University of Chicago. Schedler is fluent in French, an accomplished keyboard musician (piano and organ) and a triathlete.
