Biography:
Jesús Pérez Ríos was born and educated in Spain, where he got his Ph.D. in physics
in 2012 from Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Then, after a postdoc period in different
world-recognized institutions, he joined the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck
Society as a group leader in the department of molecular physics (2019). Finally,
he joined Stony Brook University in early 2022. Jesús Pérez Ríos has authored a book
entitled “An introduction to cold and ultracold chemistry: atoms, molecules, ions
and Rydbergs,” published by Springer in 2020. Besides, he is an editorial board member
of the few-body systems journal and one of the leading editors of the Cambridge elements
on Physics beyond the standard with atomic and molecular systems.
Research Statement:
The Perez Rios group studies fundamental processes involving atoms and molecules relevant
to different disciplines of physics and chemistry, such as cold and ultracold chemistry,
chemical physics, condensed matter physics, atmospheric physics, plasma physics, and
physics beyond the Standard Model. The essential toolkit counts on analytical and
computational techniques and data science. The research philosophy of the group relies
on the belief that studying different scenarios in one field of science might bring
tools and ideas helpful to the rest.
