Raul Fidel Tempone, born in 1969, is a mathematician from Uruguay. He studied engineering mathematics at the University of Uruguay in Montevideo, earning a bachelor's degree in 1995 and a master's in 1999. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2002 at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm under the supervision of Anders Szepessy, with a thesis on the "Numerical Complexity Analysis of Weak Approximation of Stochastic Differential Equations." Tempone worked as a Research Fellow and Associate Professor at the Royal Institute of Technology. He also held postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Computational and Engineering Sciences (ICES) at the University of Texas at Austin and as an Assistant Professor at Florida State University. Since 2009, he has been at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. In 2018, he was awarded a Humboldt Professorship at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. His research interests include a posteriori error estimation for differential equations (including stochastic differential equations), numerical methods for optimal control, Bayesian modeling, inverse problems, experimental design and uncertainty quantification (UQ), which involves modeling for risk assessment and reliability.
