Joaquín Olivert Pellicer (Cullera, 1941)
Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Valencia
Joaquín Olivert Pellicer was born in Cullera (Valencia,
Spain) on the 18th of June of 1941. He obtained his degree in
Physics at the Universidad de Valencia, in which he has been teaching
since 1969. His research has been mainly focused on the field
of mathematics applied to Relativity. He has published works on
the relativistic incompressibility and rigidity, and he introduced
the concept of seeded fiber bundles for the study of relativistic
motion conserving discrete physical magnitudes. He has been advisor
of 9 Ph.D. thesis (2 in physics and 7 in mathematics) and he is
author of the book "Algebra Lineal" published by the
Universidad de Valencia.
Currently, he is the advisor of a Ph.D.
thesis on Black Hole Entropy in Loop Quantum Gravity and he was
the first faculty member supporting the study of Loop Quantum
Gravity in Valencia. The celebration of this workshop is, thus,
due in a big part to his pioneering support.
