George Michael Fuller (born December 25, 1953, in Los Angeles) is an American theoretical physicist, known for his research on nuclear astrophysics involving weak interactions, neutrino flavor-mixing, and quark matter, as well as the hypothetical nuclear matter.
[1] His PhD thesis entitled Nuclear weak interaction rates during stellar evolution and collapse was supervised by William A.
At UCSD he is now a distinguished professor of physics and the director of the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science (CASS).
[2] He was one of six UCSD scientists (including Brian Keating) involved in the early stages of the international collaboration for the POLARBEAR experiment.
[5] In 2013 he was awarded the Hans A. Bethe Prize with citation: For outstanding contributions to nuclear astrophysics, especially his seminal work on weak interaction rates for stellar evolution and collapse and his pioneering research on neutrino flavor-mixing in supernovae.
