Sabrina Pasterski
American theoretical physicist
Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski (born June 3, 1993) is an American theoretical physicist specializing in high energy physics and celestial holography at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Early life and education
Pasterski was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Mark Pasterski and Maria Gonzalez, both lawyers. She is of Polish and Cuban descent. She attended elementary school at the Edison Regional Gifted Center beginning in 1998.
At a young age, Pasterski had developed an interest in spaceflight and aircraft. She received a Cessna 150 for her birthday from her grandfather and her father, also a pilot, took her to Canada where she could take flying lessons. Beginning at age 12, she spent two years building a Zenith CH 601 XL from a kit, making several modifications for which she sought airworthiness certification. She was allowed to perform a flight test with a certified flight instructor prior to the National Transportation Safety Board grounding all aircraft based on the Zenith kit due to several accidents.
Pasterski attended high school at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. While there, she was a semifinalist for the selection of the team representing the United States in the International Physics Olympiad, and held an internship at Blue Origin.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Sabrina Pasterski”, the useful work is to connect “american theoretical physicist” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22092846. VIAF identifies the subject as 88150868282722071324. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1993 and 1998.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
