Dr. Pedro Jiménez-Guerrero. Chemical Engineer (University of Murcia, 2001), Master's Degree and Diploma of Advanced Studies in Environmental Engineering (Technical University of Catalonia, 2003), Master's Degree in Contemporary Philosophy (University of Murcia, 2011) and Doctor in Environmental Engineering (Technical University of Catalonia, 2005; Extraordinary Doctorate Award in Environmental Engineering and Sustainability, European Doctor Mention). His main activities and research interests include the study of air pollution-climate interactions, impacts of extreme events on health and ecosystems, and the role of aerosols in the climate system, from a basic and applied research perspective. Dr. Jiménez-Guerrero has been a researcher at the University of Porto (Portugal), University of California, Irvine (UCI, USA), Max-Planck Institute (Mainz, Germany), the Goddard Institute for Space Studies of NASA (NASA-GISS, USA, NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow (NPPF), 2005; Fulbright Fellow, 2006), the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA, USA, 2009) and the Zürich Institute of Technology (ETH, Switzerland, 2014). He held the position of principal investigator in the Earth Sciences group of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) from 2007 to 2009. In 2010 he joined the University of Murcia (UMU) as a “Ramón y Cajal” researcher on regional climate processes, becoming an Associate Professor / Profesor Titular in 2018. He is since 2022 a Full Professor / Catedrático de Universidad in the area of Physics of the Earth at UMU. He was appointed as Vice-Dean of Physics (2018-2022) and Coordinator of Staff (since 2022) at the University of Murcia. The 10 most relevant merits Dr. Jiménez-Guerrero can be summarized as follows: 1. 137 articles published in international journals included in the JCR (6 more under review). 2. h-index = 41 according to WoS; over 4,500 citations. Several articles have been highlighted as Editor’s Highlight (e.g. Atmos. Environ, Geophys. Res. Lett.). 3. 6 papers covering the study of aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions were denoted as “Highly Cited Papers” in the field of geophysics, according to WoS (paper that received enough citations to place it in the top 1 % of its academic field based on a highly cited threshold for the field and publication year). 4. 6-years periods recognized (sexenios): 4 (research periods: 2002-2007, 2008-2013, 2014-2019; transfer period: 2005-2010). 5. More than 300 publications in conference proceedings of international level; and member of the Scientific/Organizing Committee of conferences as the EGU General Assembly or the International Technical Meeting for Air Pollution (ITM). 6. Reviewer of more than 25 international Q1 journals. Editor of Advances in Meteorology, Atmosphere, Environmental Research Letters and Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (the two latter included in D1). Expert reviewer for the IPCC. 7. More than €1,000,000.00 obtained from national and international R&D competitive research calls. Principal Investigator of 10 projects. 8. Experience in training graduate students (10 supervised/ongoing Doctoral Dissertations; 25 M.Sc. Dissertations supervised). 9. Evaluator of national and international programs such as the Plan Estatal de Investigación (Spain), Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA), FP7, H2020, Horizon Europe projects), from 2010-nowadays. 10. The results of his research have received awards from institutions such as the University of Cambridge, the World Meteorological Organization, the European Research Council or the UN World Climate Research Program. In 2011 he received the Researcher’s Award “Juan de Peñalver” from the Royal Spanish Academy of Engineering.
