89-year-old Rhode Island man achieves goal he spent two decades working toward and nearly a lifetime thinking about — earning his Ph.D. and becoming a physicist.
Manfred Steiner, who earned his Ph.D. in physics from Brown University at the age of 89, is photographed in his home in East Providence, R.I., Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021. After retiring from his career in medicine in 2000, Steiner pursued his dream of earning a doctorate in physics.
“But I made it, and this was the most gratifying point in my life, to finish it,” he said Wednesday at his home in East Providence. Steiner studied hematology at Tufts University and biochemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before becoming a hematologist at Brown University. He became a full professor and led the hematology section of the medical school at Brown from 1985 to 1994.
Steiner found medical research satisfying, but it wasn't quite the same as his fascination with physics.
