1 EMMANUEL HUGOT Research Scientist Head of R&D group in Optics and Instrumentation Aix Marseille University, CNRS, Laboratoire d Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM) instrumentation/ PATENTS This research in optical manufacturing for astronomical optics has, in essence, a strong impact in terms of technology transfer and then led to the deposit of patents, as well as the building of multi partners project involving industrials. Patent extended to Europe and US, related to the manufacturing of ELT segments De Mollerat du Jeu, Carre, Ferrari, Lemaitre, Hugot, Method of forming a non spherical optical element. EP A1 US A1, Patent THALES SESO/CNRS/AMU (2011) De Mollerat du Jeu, Ferrari, Lemaitre, Hugot, Method of Shaping an Optical Element That is Elastically Deformed by an Adhesively Bonded Ring, US B2, US A1, Patent THALES SESO/CNRS/AMU (2013) Patents extended to Europe only, related to the active optics system installed on SPHERE Laslandes, Ferrari, Hugot, Device correcting at least one aberration with known evolution comprising a deformable mirror EP , Patent CNES/THALES/CNRS/AMU (2012) Laslandes, Hugot, Ferrari, Mirror having mechanical means of generating primary geometric aberrations, Patent EP A1 THALES Alenia Space/CNES/CNRS/AMU (2013) Patents related to flexible detectors Gaeremynck, Hugot, Fendler Applications of flexible detectors, Patent FR , CEA LETI/CNRS/AMU (2015) Jahn, Hugot, Ferrari Very wide field zoom system based on curved detectors, Patent FR CNRS/AMU PUBLICATIONS, REFEERED JOURNALS Over the last ten years, on top of the time spent in the deposit of patents (requiring secret) and the time spent in prototypes development, his work also led to the publication of 14 refereed papers and 48 SPIE conference proceedings, for a total of ~430 citations. Note that this criterion is not relevant in his field: the goal is not to produce the breakthrough paper but the breakthrough operational system. The ideas and work presented in the first papers led to systems that are now used routinely during observations years after. The five highlighted publications represent the most impacting work.
