Stacey received his PhD from Cornell University in 1985 under the mentorship of Martin Harwit. His research focused on far-infrared spectral line studies of Galactic star formation regions and the Galaxy with data obtained from NASA’s Lear Jet and Kuiper Airborne Observatories (KAO). From 1985 to 1991 he continued his far-infrared spectral line work with imaging Fabry-Perot spectrometers on the KAO, working with Charles Townes and Reinhard Genzel. He accepted a faculty position at Cornell in 1991, where he has continued studies of star formation near and far in the near-IR to mm-wave bands using data from ground-based, airborne, and space-based systems.
