Gaston Dupouy
Gaston Léopold Dupouy (born August 7, 1900 in Marmande , Lot-et-Garonne , † October 22, 1985 in Toulouse ) was a French physicist.
Gaston Dupouy was in Aimé Cotton's high-field laboratory in Paris . He became director of the CNRS in 1950 . From 1957 he was back in Toulouse, where he was professor at the Faculté des Sciences and founded the Laboratory for Electron Optics (Laboratoire d´optique électronique, LOE), for which he designed a very powerful 1 MeV electron microscope (housed in a spherical building, which was then also called la boule ). At the LOE he worked closely with Charles Fert , who was its deputy director. In 1989 the LOE became part of the CEMES (Center d'élaboration de matériaux et d'études structurales).
He was honorary director of the CNRS , whose gold medal he received in 1957 (and which was donated on his initiative). In 1950 he was elected to the Académie des Sciences . A building at the Paul Sabatier University is named after him.
In 1972 he became a member of the traditional Académie des Jeux Floraux in Toulouse.
