Jose Luis Mateos Trigos (born 13 July 1961) is a theoretical physicist working at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), doing research on Complex Systems, Network Science and Statistical Physics.

Then, he went to Boston, Massachusetts, to have a postdoctoral stay as a visiting professor at the Physics Department of Northeastern University.

There he started to work on Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos.

Back in Mexico City, in the Department of Complex Systems of the Institute of Physics UNAM, he continued his research on interdisciplinary and statistical physics and non linear dynamics: more specifically on transport on nonlinear chaotic systems with or without noise (ratchets) and Brownian motors.

Later on, he started to work on anomalous diffusion and Lévy flights in physics and biology.
