He worked with John Bolton and Bruce Slee at the Dover Heights Field Station in Sydney on the detection of radio emissions from Cygnus and other stars. Their work was instrumental in understanding the high-energy physics of the universe and opened a new field of investigation into extragalactic radio astronomy. Stanley joined Bolton at the California Institute of Technology in 1955, later becoming Director of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory. He established a company specialising in sensor technology. 1927 1927 Life event - Migrated to Australia 1944 Career position - Tradesman, CSIRO Division of Radiophysics 1945 1945 Education - Diploma in Engineering, Sydney Technical College 1945 1955 Career position - Technical Assistant, CSIRO Division of Radiophysics 1955 1975 Career position - Engineer, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, U.S.A. 1960 1975 Career position - Director, Owens Valley Radio Observatory, California, U.S.A CSIR/O Division of Radiophysics, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (1940 - 1996)
