Rodolfo Gambini

Rodolfo Gambini is a physicist of the Universidad de la Republica in Montevideo, Uruguay and a visiting professor at the Horace Hearne Institute for Theoretical Physics at the Louisiana State University. He works on loop quantum gravity. He got his Ph.D. in Universite de Paris VI working with Achille Papapetrou. From there he moved to the Universidad Simon Bolivar in Venezuela where he rose through the professorial ranks. It was there that together with fellow physicist Antoni Trias he invented the loop representation for Yang-Mills theories in 1986.

Gambini returned to Uruguay in 1987 after democracy had returned to the country. Gambini has published over 100 scientific articles ranging from philosophy of science and foundations of quantum mechanics to lattice gauge theories to quantum gravity. He was head of the Pedeciba, the main funding agency for basic sciences in Uruguay (2003-2008). He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, a member of the Third World Academy of Sciences, the Latin American Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Exact and Natural Sciences of Argentina. He is the 2003 winner of the Third World Academ of Sciences prize in physics and has received numerous distinctions in Uruguay where he was awarded the 2004 Presidential Medal of Science.
