Early life and career
Gelmini received her Ph.D. from the National University of La Plata in 1981.[5] Her doctoral advisors were Roberto Peccei and Carlos A. Garcia Canal.
Upon graduation, Gelmini worked at LMU Munich in Germany for a few years before moving to the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy at around 1982.[6][7] During this time, she was based at CERN in Switzerland.[8][9] Gelmini was also affiliated with the Lyman Laboratory of Physics at Harvard University and the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago between 1986 and 1988.[10][11][12]
In November 1989, Gelmini joined UCLA as a faculty member and has been there ever since.[13][14]
Scientific contributions
In November 2007, Gelmini was part of a team that analyzed data from the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina and discovered high-energy particles that made it to Earth from nearby black holes.[15][16]
