Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is an American physics PhD candidate from Chicago, Illinois.[1] She completed her undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is currently a graduate student at Harvard University. She has received job offers from Blue Origin, an aerospace company founded by Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).[2]
Early life and education
Pasterski was born in Chicago on June 3, 1993. She had started building a kit aircraft by 2006.[3] She soloed her Cessna 150 in Canada in 2007 and certified her aircraft as airworthy in 2008.[4] (MIT assisted with the certification of the single-engine airplane she had built from a kit.)[5] Her first U.S. solo flight was in that kit aircraft in 2009 after being signed off by her CFI Jay Maynard. She graduated from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in 2010.[6] Jeff Bezos drew her into physics. Her scientific heroes include Leon Lederman, Dudley Herschbach, and Freeman Dyson.[7]
Academia
Before focusing on high energy theory, Pasterski worked on the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.[7]
In early 2016, a paper by Stephen Hawking, Malcolm J. Perry, and Andrew Strominger (Pasterski's doctoral advisor of whom she was working independently at the time) entitled "Soft Hair on Black Holes" [8]Vorlage:Primary source inline.[9] This resulted in extensive media coverage after its appearance on the arXiv and in the days leading up to it.[10][11]
