João Magueijo (born ) is a Portuguesecosmologist and professor in theoretical physics at Imperial College London.
He is a pioneer of the varying speed of light (VSL) theory.
Education and career

Particles faster than light
He undertook graduate work and Ph.D. at Cambridge University. He was awarded a research fellowship at St John's College, Cambridge. He has been a faculty member at Princeton and Cambridge and is currently a professor at Imperial College London where he teaches undergraduates General Relativity and postgraduates Advanced General Relativity.
In , Magueijo teamed with Andreas Albrecht to work on the varying speed of light (VSL) theory of cosmology, which proposes that the speed of light was up to 3×1030km/s in the early universe. This would explain the horizon problem (since distant regions of the expanding universe would have had time to interact and homogenize
