Education
[ edit ]
He obtained his BSc in physics from the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala in 1979, and his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1986 under the supervision of Nobel laurate Steven Weinberg .[1]
Career
[ edit ]
Following a string of research appointments at CERN , Switzerland, McGill University in Canada, Institut de Physique in Neuchatel, Switzerland, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory , USA, as well as a brief term as professor of physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Dr. Quevedo later joined the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge , UK, in 1998, where he has been Professor of Theoretical Physics and Fellow of Gonville and Caius College.[4] He has taught courses on the Standard Model , differential equations , complex methods, supersymmetry and extra dimensions. He has discussed the importance of international research institutions for science diplomacy.[5] He has authored more than 100 papers.[6]
Honors and awards
[ edit ]
He has been awarded the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award , Doctorate Honoris Causa from Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala and Universidad del Valle de Guatemala , John Solomon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and, alongside Anamaría Font , won the 1998 ICTP Prize .[7] He has been a fellow of the World Academy of Sciences since 2010.[8]
