}}Carlos Silvestre Frenk, {{post-nominals|country=GBR|CBE|FRS}} (born 27 October 1951)[2] is a Mexican-British cosmologist.[3] His main interests lie in the field of cosmology, galaxy formation and computer simulations of cosmic structure formation.[4]

Education

Frenk was educated at the University of Mexico[2][8] and went on to study for a PhD in astronomy at the University of Cambridge where his thesis was supervised by Bernard J. T. Jones[1] and awarded in 1981. [5]

He is also co-Principal Investigator of the Virgo Consortium, alongside Simon White.[7]

Awards and honours

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2004[13] and is a member of the Royal Society's Council.[8] He won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 2014.[9] Other awards and honours include:
