Gaston R. Gutierrez currently works at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) where he holds a Scientist II position. He completed his undergraduate education in the National University of La Plata, Argentina in 1977. [1] In 1982 he received his PhD from the same institution. He was awarded the status of Fellow [2] in the American Physical Society, [3] after he was nominated by the Division of Particles and Fields in 2009, [4] for leading the introduction of "matrix-element" techniques for extracting precise measurements of standard-model parameters at hadron colliders and for seminal and vital contributions to the construction of the unique scintillating fiber tracker for the DZero experiment.
