Ariel Fernandez Biography, Age, Height, Wife, Net Worth and Family

Fernandez held the Karl F. Hasselmann Professorship of Bioengineering at Rice University until 2011. He is a member of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina.

The editorial board of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences retracted a January 2006 paper coauthored by Fernandez because it had “substantial overlap”, without attribution, of figures and text from an article by Fernandez published in Structure the previous month, a form of duplicate publication. The website Retraction Watch has documented incidences of scientific concerns about some of Fernandez’s other publications, claims that Fernandez has denied.

Fernandez was awarded a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award for early-career researchers in 1991; a Guggenheim Fellowship for researchers in Latin America and the Caribbean in 1995; and was elected a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering for his “contributions to understanding protein folding and protein-protein interactions and the use of this knowledge to design new drugs”, in 2006.

Fernandez received Licentiate degrees in Chemistry (1979) and Mathematics (1980) from the Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina. He then earned a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1984 with a thesis entitled Structural Stability of Chemical Systems at Critical Regimes
