Enrique Martinez-Gonzalez is CSIC Research Professor at
the Instituto de Fisica de Cantabria (IFCA) in Santander (Spain) where
he is the director and also responsible for the research line
“Observational Cosmology and Instrumentation”. His main field of
research is Cosmology, more specifically Cosmic Microwave Background
(CMB), large scale structure (LSS) of the Universe and galaxy formation.
In the last 10 years he has focused in the development of CMB
experiments and instrumentation as well as data analysis and theoretical
implications of CMB data sets. Among his most relevant contributions it
can be mentioned, on the one hand, the coordination of the activities
to develop the Back-end Modules of the radiometers at 30 and 44 GHz of
Planck and the scientific exploitation of the data. He is Co-I of the
Planck-LFI, Planck Scientist, coordinator of the non-Gaussianity working
group and member of the Planck-LFI core team. On the other hand, he
belongs to the management board of QUIJOTE, an experiment aimed at
measuring both, the Galactic polarized emission and the CMB
polarization. He also participates in the project J-PAS, a galaxy survey
covering 8000 square degrees up to redshift 1 with the main objective
of measuring the “baryonic acoustic oscillations”, and in the Euclid ESA
mission with the primary goal to understand the dark energy and dark
matter of the Universe. He has published about 200 papers in refereed
journals. He has been the PI of 5 international projects and 11 national
projects. To be emphasised, coordinator of the first European network
on the CMB funded by the Human Capital and Mobility Program of the EC
and coordinator of the project of excellence “Exploring the Physics of
Inflation” of the Spanish Consolider Ingenio-2010 program.
