Gregorio Baró, PhD was an Argentine scientist born in Santiago Temple, Córdoba on June 19, 1928 and died in Buenos Aires on May 28, 2012.
The son of Spanish immigrants from the Province of León, more precisely from Cabreros del Río, Baró married the writer María Dhialma Tiberti. He completed his Associate of Science in Chemistry degree at the Otto Krause Technical School in Buenos Aires, in 1945. Afterward, he pursued his studies at Universidad de Buenos Aires from which he obtained a Bachelor of Science, followed by a PhD in Chemistry with a dissertation entitled Estado químico del arsénico formado por transformaciones nucleares en compuestos inorgánicos de germanio, selenio, bromo, y arsénico (Baró, 1961) under the direction of Professor Adrian Aten of the Instituut voor Kernphysisch Onderzoek, in Amsterdam, Netherlands and with a full scholarship from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET). Moreover, between 1955 and 1960 he continued with postdoctoral research in nuclear energy under the supervision of Professor Walter Seelmann-Eggebert, a German radiochemist who worked together with Nobel Prize winner Otto Hahn, at Balseiro Institute and at the Bariloche Atomic Centre, in San Carlos de Bariloche, Rio Negro province, Argentina; and, in 1968, in the use of nuclear reactors for research and production of radioisotopes in Bombay, India, organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
