Pablo Bueno
I am a theoretical physicist and Professor Agregat at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB). I work on black holes, gravitational theories beyond General Relativity, quantum field theory, entanglement and holography.
About me
I am from Tineo, Asturias, and currently live in Barcelona with my wife and our two cats. My family is originally from A Fonsagrada, Lugo, in eastern Galicia, close to the Asturian border. My academic path has taken me through Oviedo, Madrid, Waterloo, Leuven, Amsterdam, Bariloche, CERN and Barcelona.
Most of my work is driven by a simple question: which features of gravity and quantum field theory are genuinely universal, and which depend on the particular language or model we use to describe them?
Outside physics, I am also an economist in training, currently pursuing undergraduate studies in Economics through UNED.

Tineo and A Fonsagrada
I grew up in Tineo, in western Asturias. For a visual impression of the area, see the official Tineo tourism site or the Wikimedia Commons gallery for Tinéu.
My family roots are in A Fonsagrada, in the province of Lugo, Galicia. It is a mountainous area bordering Asturias, part of the Eo-Oscos e Terras de Burón Biosphere Reserve, and closely tied to the Camino Primitivo. For a visual impression of the area, see A Fonsagrada on the Lugo tourism portal or the Galicia tourism information.
