History

Gustavo received his M.Sc. in Physics (with honors) from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987 and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Yale University in 1994. He later explained that during a visit he paid to a friend studying in Yale, he met with . K.R. Sreenivasan which "called the provost and asked if he could add me as a PhD student, even though I hadn’t formally applied to Yale and all the deadlines had already passed." [5] He did his post-doctorate at the Center for Studies in Physics and Biology at The Rockefeller University following which he joined IBM Research in 1998. [4]
