Biographical Sketch
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 working at Yale University as a postdoc and faculty member, Prof. Manly moved to the University of Rochester as an Associate Professor in 1998. Professor Manly was name NY State Professor of the Year in 2003 by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and was the Mercer Brugler Distinguished Teaching Professor from 2002 to 2005. In 2007 Manly received the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching
Research
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 Next Linear Collider (a soon-to-be proposed electron-postitron collider with a center-of-mass energy ranging from 500 GeV to 1.5 TeV). Most recently, Prof. Manly has worked on the Phobos experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, where he is studying the nature of matter and extremely high energy density. His group has played an essential role in establishing the three dimensional characteristics of relativistic heavy ion collisions and the importance of fluctuations the initial state. Professor Manly is currently pursuing research in deep inelastic scattering and nucleon structure (JUPITER at Jefferson Lab), and neutrino physics and neutrino oscillations (MINERvA at Fermilab, T2K at J-Parc in Japan).
