J. Jaime Gómez-Hernández (Requena, Spain, 1960) graduated as a Civil Engineer in 1983 from the Technical University of Valencia in Spain and continued his graduate studies at Stanford University, where he received a Ms.Sc. in Applied Hydrogeology (1987) and a Ph.D. in Geostatistics Applied to Natural Resources Characterization (1990). He is currently a professor of Hydrogeology at the Technical University of Valencia, where he heads the Group of Hydrogeology of the Institute for Water and Environmental Engineering. His research has focused on the development of models that would allow a better understanding of how groundwater behaves; a subject on which he has published more than 100 papers. He was distinguished as Centennial Teaching Assistant by Stanford University in 1990; he received the Prize for Research and Technology in Wastes by the Regional Government of Valencia in 1999, the 2020 Krumbein Medal by the International Association of Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG) —the highest distinction of the IAMG, given biennially—, he has been appointed the 2021 Distinguished Lecturer of the IAMG, he received the UPV Social Council Prize for Knowledge Improvement in 2020, he has received the 2020 Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water in the Groundwater section —possibly the highest award for its prestige and financial endowment in water research, given biennially—, he was included in the 2021 Forbes list of 50 most internationally awarded Spaniards, and he has been recognized with the Pioneer in Groundwater award by the American Society of Civil Engineering.
