Life
Rouet obtained his engineering degree from the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in 1969 and received his doctorate in theoretical physics in 1974 . In 1975 he was a post-doc at the MPI for Physics and Astrophysics in Munich and from 1976 to 1978 at CERN . From 1979 to 1981 he was a scientist at the CNRS at the CPT (Center de Physique Theoretique) in Marseille- Luminy. At the same time, he worked as a consultant for Aérospatiale and the French Atomic Energy Commission. From 1981 to 1982 he was Einstein Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study . He then switched to industry and was in the management of a company in the Thomson Group (Videolor) from 1983 to 1986 . In 1986 he founded the company Science & Tech (a kind of scientific think tank , also for academics who are not permanently employed in the company, for consulting in the industry), of which he is president today (2008), and in 1996 the company Quantaflow (which a people counting system developed e.g. installed in airports).
Rouet is known for his development of the BRST formalism with Raymond Stora and Carlo Becchi around 1975, a method for the quantization of systems with constraints such as gauge theories. In addition to quantum field theory , he also dealt with dynamic systems.
In 2009 he received the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics with Stora, Becchi and Igor Tyutin .
