Biography
After growing up on Long Island and attending the Long Island Lutheran High School, Stanley P. Davis continued his education in New York City, receiving a B. S. Degree from the City College of New York and a M. S. Degree from the Polytechnic Institute of New York. He then attended The Catholic University of America and earned a Ph. D. degree in physics. His research interests include high-energy astrophysics, astro-particle physics and cosmology. His Doctoral dissertation is the first of its kind on time dilation in gamma-ray bursts. Stanley P. Davis is a member of the American Physical Society, American Astronomical Society and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
In 1999, Dr. Davis was a visiting professor at Lincoln University.
Dr. Davis has an assortment of outside interests. He enjoys physical fitness: weight lifting, basketball, racquetball, running and cycling. Furthermore, he likes learning about archaeology, anthropology, paleontology and is currently working at becoming a better chess player.
