Luis Fernando de la Peña-Auerbach (1931 – May 17, 2026), known as Luis de la Peña was a Mexican physicist. He was a researcher of the Institute of Physics and professor of the Faculty of Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and was a member of the Science Advisory Council of the Presidency of Mexico.
Life and career
Peña was born in Mexico City in 1931. He graduated from ESIME of the National Polytechnic Institute with a degree in mechanical-electrical engineering and began his professional activity as a designer of audio systems. From 1954 was professor of the ESIME and from 1958 definitively joined UNAM. He completed his PhD in 1964 under the direction of Arseny Sokolov at the Moscow State University in the Soviet Union.[1]
He is known most for his contributions towards the field of stochastic electrodynamics (SED). In 2002 he was awarded the National Prize for Arts and Sciences in the Physics, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences category.
Peña died on May 17, 2026, at the age of 95.[3]
