Encyclopedia
Alejandro Corichi is a theoretical physicist working at the Quantum Gravity
group of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM
). He obtained his bachelor degree at UNAM
(1991) and his PhD
at Pennsylvania State University
(1997).
His field of study is General Relativity
and Quantum Gravity
, where
he has contributed to the understanding of classical aspects of black holes, to the non-commutativity and black holes within the approach known as Loop quantum gravity
and to loop quantum cosmology
.
