Mario Leandro Aolita, an Argentine physicist, was born in the city of Zárate. He completed his undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of Buenos Aires. He then pursued his doctorate in quantum physics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), where his thesis was recognized as the best by the Brazilian Physics Society in 2008. Aolita furthered his studies with post-doctoral work at the Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona and the Free University of Berlin.
Like many of his peers in the field of quantum physics, Aolita is engaged in efforts to unify quantum theory with Einstein’s theory of general relativity. A nature enthusiast, Aolita has found meditation to be a valuable tool in achieving the tranquility necessary to tackle such complex problems.
