Sean Scully

Sean Scully is a Professor in the Physics Department at James Madison University (JMU). His research focuses on astroparticle and high energy astrophysics, particularly exploring astrophysical constraints on fundamental physics theories like quantum gravity. He holds a PhD in Astrophysics (1997) and MS (1993) and BS (1990) in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the University of Minnesota. His work bridges cosmology and particle physics, leveraging observational data to probe Planck-scale physics and neutrino propagation mechanisms. Scully’s publications address intergalactic background light, gamma-ray opacity, and Lorentz invariance violation using high-energy neutrinos. He is affiliated with JMU’s Physics/Chemistry Building and contributes to the Madison Accelerator Lab. No advisory roles or grants are explicitly listed, though his research collaborations suggest active participation in interdisciplinary astrophysics initiatives.
