Mannque Rho (Korean: 노만규; RR: No Man-gyu; born December 14, 1936) is a South Korean-French theoretical physicist.
He has contributed to theoretical nuclear/hadron physics and suggested Brown-Rho Scaling with Gerald E. Brown which predicts how the masses of the hadrons disappear in hot and dense environments.
He graduated from Kyunggi High School and started his college study at the political science department of Seoul National University.
During his college studies, he attended some lectures about the structure of nuclei by Ben Roy Mottelson and Niels Bohr who were visiting the university at that time.
[2] Rho is known for his works on the properties of hadrons in normal as well as extreme environments present in heavy nuclei, relativistic heavy-ion collisions and compact stars.
