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.
