François Martin
CNRS Honorary Research Fellow (retired)
France

François Martin is born in 1946. After studying at Ecole Normale Supérieure de la rue d’Ulm, in Paris, where he studies, among others, quantum physics, he enters CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) in 1971. He gets a 3ème cycle thesis, then a doctorat d’Etat ès Sciences Physiques on the quantum field theory of electromagnetism. In 1975 he receives the Bronze Medal of CNRS (with Guy Bonneau). His career was devoted to elementary particle physics. He worked successively at the Theory Group of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), at the CERN Theory Group, in Geneva, at the Groupe de Physique Théorique du LAPP (Laboratoire d’Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique des Particules) and at the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Hautes Energies (LPTHE), University Paris 6. In 1991 he discovers by himself Synchronicity and works on its possible connection with quantum mechanics together with Belal Baaquie, Giuliana Galli Carminati and Federico Carminati. He retired from CNRS on the 11th of September 2011 and is now an Honorary Research Fellow.
