Juan Manuel Rodríguez Parrondo [2] [3] (born 9 January 1964) is a Spanish physicist.[ not verified in body] He is mostly popular for the invention of the Parrondo's paradox and his contributions in the thermodynamical study of information. [4]
Juan Parrondo received his bachelors degree in 1987 and defended his Ph.D at Complutense University of Madrid in 1992. He started a permanent position at UCM at 1996. In the same year he invented the well-known Parrondo's Paradox, according to which 2 losing strategies may win while working together. Since then, the paradox has been widely used in biology and finances. He has also completed a lot of research in the field of Information Theory, mostly looking at information as a thermodynamic concept, which as a result of ergodicity breaking changed the entropy of the system.
