Additional information
H. Eugene Stanley obtained his BA degree in physics at Wesleyan University in 1962 and was awarded a PUD in physics from Harvard University in 1967. He was a Miller Fellow at the University of California—Berkeley and Herman von Helmholtz Associate Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining Boston University in 1976 as professor of physics and associate professor of physiology. In 1978 and 1979, he was promoted to professor of physiology and University professor, respectively.
Known for his commitment to international education and Cooperation, Stanley co-founded a series of NATO Advanced Study Institutes in interdiseiplinary physics in Cargése, co-directed the 1996 Enrico Fermi School of Physics on Complex Systems, and chaired the 1998 Gordon Conference on Water. In 1986, he chaired the triennial IUPAP International Conference on Statistical Mechanics, STATPHYS16.
Stanley pressed for the reform of medical education through the introduetion of concepts and techniques from the physical Sciences. He created new courses in human anatomy and physiology that allow physics and engineering to play roles parallel to that currently played by biochemistry.
Stanley works in collaboration with students and colleagues attempting to understand phenomena of interest to materials science. One such puzzle is the connection of the glassy and liquid phases of water—of the topic of Stanley’s presentation. Other problems engaging his attention include transport in inhomogeneous materials such as oil-bearing sandsione and various puzzles concerning the unique behavior of granular materials. Together with his students and collaborators, he discovered the phenomenon of spontaneous self-stratification of mixtures of grains, recognized by Discovery magazine as the “discovery of the year 1997.” Four of his papers have been among the most-cited publications in the year that they were published, and a fifth paper is a Science Citation Classic.
Stanley delivered the 30suth Salm Memorial Lecture; the Fourth Bose Memorial Lecture, 1992; the Eötvös Lecture; and he was recently selected as an APS Centennial Lecturer.
