Rafael S. de Souza is a Brazilian astronomer and data scientist who works as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire.
Early life and education
De Souza was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1980. He attended high school at the Naval College from 1994 to 1997. He graduated in Astronomy at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in 2004, where he studied "Cosmic Acceleration" under the supervision of Ioav Waga.[1]. He then earned his PhD in Astrophysics from the University of São Paulo in 2009 with a dissertation titled "Origin of Cosmic Magnetic Fields," supervised by Reuven Opher.
Career
From 2010 to 2011, de Souza was a postdoctoral fellow at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe in Japan. He then moved to South Korea, where he served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute from 2012 to 2014. Following this, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, from 2014 to 2016 and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2017 to 2020.
In 2020, de Souza became an Associate Professor at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai, China, where he remained until 2022. Currently, he holds the position of Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Astrophysics Research at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, a role he assumed in 2023.
He served as Vice President of the International Astrostatistics Association (IAA).[2]
In 2014, de Souza founded and currently chairs the Cosmostatistics Initiative (COIN).[3]Template:Better source needed
