Brief bio of Steve Manly
Prof. Manly received his B.A. in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics (1982) from Pfeiffer College in rural North Carolina. Looking for a change, he moved to New York City and received his Ph.D. in experimental high energy physics from Columbia University in 1989. After a short postdoc at Yale University, Prof. Manly joined the Yale faculty as an Assistant Professor in 1990 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1996. He came to the University of Rochester as an Associate Professor in 1998. Professor Manly was honored with the Mercer Brugler Distinguished Teaching Chair at the University of Rochester from 2002-2005. He was named the NY State Professor of the Year in 2003 by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Prof. Manly's research interests are primarily in the areas of high energy, nuclear, and Gravitational Physics. In the past, he has studied high energy neutrino interactions with the E53 collaboration at Fermilab as well as electroweak and B physics with the SLD collaboration at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He has also been active in studies of the physics of the Linear Collider (a soon-to-be proposed electron-postitron collider with a center-of-mass energy ranging from 500 GeV to 1.5 TeV). Currently, he is focussed on heavy ion physics with the Phobos experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and on neutrino physics and nucleon structure with the MINERvA experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the CLAS and Hall C collaborations at Jefferson Laboratory. He's dabbled in other things such as the examining the feasibility of doing high precision gravitation physics using optical fibers.
