    Stanley William Herbert Cowley FRS [6] (born 1947)[7] is a British physicist, Emeritus Professor of Solar Planetary Physics at the University of Leicester.[8][9][10]

    Education[edit]

    Cowley was educated at Caludon Castle School, Coventry, and Imperial College, London, graduating with first class honours in physics in 1968. He was awarded a PhD by Imperial in 1972 for research supervised by James Dungey.[2]

    Career and research[edit]

    Cowley had a visiting Scholarship at the University of Colorado in 1972–73 before returning to Imperial, where was appointed a Lecturer in 1982, Reader in 1985 and Professor in 1988. He was appointed Head of the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group at Imperial in 1990 before moving in 1996 to the University of Leicester as Head of the Radio and Space Plasma Physics group.[11]

    Cowley's primary research interest is the physical processes that shape the outer plasma environments of Earth and the magnetised planets.[1][11]

    Cowley's former doctoral students include Emma Bunce,[3] Nicola Fox[4] and Caitriona Jackman.[5]
