José W. F. Valle

José W. F. Valle (born June 2, 1953) is a Brazilian-Spanish physicist whose research includes many aspects of astroparticle physics and high energy physics, especially neutrino physics.

He is a senior scientist at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research CSIC, the largest public research body in Spain, leading the Astroparticle and High Energy Group (AHEP group) of IFIC (Instituto de Física Corpuscular) at the University of Valencia.[1][2]

He has contributed to the modern theory of neutrino mass[3] and neutrino oscillation[4] whose recent experimental discovery was a triumph of neutrino astronomy, an emerging field which has given the physics Nobel Prize in 2002 to Raymond Davis Jr. and Masatoshi Koshiba. Likewise the discovery of oscillations was awarded the physics Nobel Prize in 2015 to Arthur B. McDonald and Takaaki Kajita. It provides the only firm indication of the incompleteness of the Standard Model of particle physics with important consequences also for astrophysics and cosmology.[5]
