Jorge Pullin - Professor

Jorge Pullin and his family are from the Scottish community of Buenos Aries,  Argentina. As a kid,  he enjoyed figuring out how things worked and he enjoyed playing with other things like electricity. He went to the University of Buenos Aries to study engineering,  but later transferred to the Instituto Balsiero in Bariloche to study physics."I enjoy the freedom to investigate what I want,  and to basically understand things, " After earning his degree there,  he moved to the University of Cordoba to study gravitational physics. While in Cordoba,  he met his future wife,  Gabriela González,  an Argentinian physicist in the same field. "I guess we are a living example that Einstein was wrong when he said that gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love, " Pullin said.

After completing his Ph.D. he did his Postdoc work in the United States,  and was later hired as a faculty member by Penn State.
