In 2011, the website Rate My Professors announced that based on their research culled from more than 1,500,000 professors in their database, Steeves was one of the “Top 15 Best Professors in the United States.” [5]
His current research focuses primarily on cosmology and astrobiology—on the origin events of both the cosmos and life—and on APC (anarchic phenomenological communitarianism). [6]
