Death of Emmanuel Plaut

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Emmanuel Plaut, on 4 August, at the age of 54.

Emmanuel joined LEMTA in 1998 when he was appointed Senior Lecturer at ENSEM. He then joined the École des Mines de Nancy as a University Professor in 2008.

A specialist in turbulence and instabilities in fluids, Emmanuel was a passionate and brilliant teacher-researcher, with a degree from the École Polytechnique de Palaiseau, a DEA from the École Normale Supérieure d’Ulm and a thesis in Fluid Physics from the Université d’Orsay.

We remember him for his great intelligence, his high moral standards and his endearing personality.

Emmanuel Plaut’s funeral took place on Wednesday 9 August in the church of Notre-Dame de Sainte-Pience in the Manche département.

Our thoughts and support go out to his family and friends.

Olivier Lottin, Director of LEMTA
