corinne a. manogue -lrb- born march 3 , 1955 -rrb- is an american physicist who has worked in general relativity , mathematical physics , and physics education .
her early research studied quantum field theory in curved space , including a treatment of rotating frames of reference .
more recently , her work has focused on applications of the octonions to the theory of fundamental particles .
she was a graduate student under bryce dewitt at the university of texas , where she received her ph.d. in 1984 .
her dissertation , titled `` the vacuum in the presence of electromagnetic fields and rotating boundaries '' , contained two separate results : a treatment of the gravitational casimir effect in rotating reference frames , and a discussion of superradiance in both gravitational and electromagnetic contexts .
the latter work revealed a physically important sign error in the treatment of the electromagnetic case in standard textbooks .
