Biography
Jorge Pullin born in 1963 and lived in Argentina until 1988. As a member of the scottish community in Buenos Aires I learned to play the Great Highland Bagpipe in the South American Piping Associations' band. I attended the University of Buenos Aires (electrical engineering) for two years before leaving for the Instituto Balseiro to finish a M.Sc. (1986) in Physics. I later moved to the University of Cordoba to pursue my Ph.D. which I submitted in 1988 to the Instituto Balseiro. My Ph.D. advisor was Reinaldo Gleiser. I moved to Syracuse University in 1989 and to the University of Utah in 1991 as a postdoc. I joined the faculty of Penn State in 1993 until 2001. I am married to Gabriela Gonzalez,who was a staff scientist at MIT working in the LIGO group, and is now on the faculty of LSU as a professor.
Research Interest
My research interests cover many aspects of gravitational physics, both classical and quantum mechanical. I am currently focusing on quantum gravity, although until relatively recently I was involved in black hole collisions.
