Searching for quantum loop gravity groups

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding research groups and supervisors for pursuing a PhD in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). The original poster expresses difficulty in locating such groups and seeks advice. Participants suggest that reviewing academic papers on LQG and identifying their authors can lead to potential supervisors. They recommend specific resources, including a thread on Physics Forums and the Louisiana State University (LSU) website, known for its research in LQG. The importance of selecting a good supervisor over the university itself is emphasized, highlighting the significance of mentorship in the PhD journey. Overall, the conversation provides practical guidance for navigating the academic landscape in LQG research.

I'm searching for research groups of quantum loop gravity, Does anyone can help me to find at least one of them?.
I want to do my PhD on that topic and I have found kind of hard to find those groups and I am looking for a good supervisor, any reference would be very very helpful.

Thanks...

How did you decide you wanted to do LQG? Presumably by reading papers on that. Who wrote those papers? Who did they cite? Where are they at?

Ok I know what you mean, I know that I want to study LQG because I have read a few articles, but at a informative level, nothing serious. I am just looking for someone with experience on the field so that she or he can give an advise, I had not thought about searching papers and looking for their authors, good idea, I will do that. But I would like to let this message open so that I can get more ideas like yours.

Thanks
 
Check out the 'Beyond the Standard Model' forum here. Back when I used to read the stuff there it seemed like those guys knew what was going on in LQG so maybe it would be a good idea to search for some stuff there.

Should mention that LSU is a big university for research in LQG!

Thanks very much there is a lot of information there.

I think that the person with whom are you going to work on your PhD is the one that matters, so I should not worry about the university or should I?? That is why I am searching for a good supervisor.
