Raul Jimenez (born 1967, Madrid, Spain, Europe) is a cosmologist and theoretical physicist and currently ICREA...[1] Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Barcelona.[2] His research interests include the origin and evolution of the Universe, large-scale structure, dark matter, dark energy, inflation, the cosmic microwave background, statistics and Bayesian inference. Prof. Raúl Jiménez obtained his PhD at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen in 1995; he then moved to the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh were he held a PPARC Advanced Fellowship. After this five-year period, he went to the US where he joined the faculty of the Physics & Astronomy departments of Rutgers University and, later, the University of Pennsylvania. He joined ICREA in Sept 2007 as Professor at the ICC.
Early life and education
Jimenez was born in Madrid, Spain in 1967 in the Salamanca District where he also grew up. He attended elementary and middle school at the Colegio Publico Ntra. Sea. de la Almudena.[3] He completed his high-school education at the Instituto de Bachillerato Cervantes on the natural sciences branch. His teenage years coincided with the noted cultural movement la movida madrilena, which he lived first hand. After this he completed his undergraduate studies at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid specializing in theoretical physics. He moved to Copenhagen in 1992 to start his PhD at Nordita in the Niels Bohr Institute.
Research interests
Jimenez is a cosmologist and works on theoretical cosmology and astrophysics [4]. He uses astronomical observations to learn about the fundamental laws of nature. His research interests are broad and range form the origin and evolution of the universe to the physics of stars and stellar systems. He is also interested in large scale structures and the theory behind it. He has made several contributions to the analysis of large datasets and the introduction of Bayesian statistics in cosmology. His works can be found on-line at Google Scholar[5]
His research has been features in several public outlets like New Scientist[6] Le Point [7] The Economist [8] FORBES [9]
Books
His book "Democracias Robotizadas",[10] written with sociologist Luis Moreno Fernández has been translated to English[11] and Italian.[12] It gives a thorough description of the current and future technologies employed in the development of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Giving a clear account of the historical development of machine learning, it then elaborates of how our democracies can survive the progressive and inevitable robotization of our societies.
Honors and awards
Among others, Raul Jimenez was a Henri Poincaire Institute/CNRS distinguished visiting professor in the Fall of 2018[13] and a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University in 2015-2016 [14]
