Biography

Georges Lochak was born on 12 February 1930 to a Russian family exiled in France due to the Russian Revolution and Russian Civil War. Lochak studied physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne and the Institut Henri Poincaré from 1950 to 1954.

Lochak worked at the Institute Henri Poincaré, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) and the Joliot-Curie-Laboratory for Nuclear Physics (University of Paris-Sud). By the time of his retirement in 1996 he was the former director of research at CNRS.

Lochak worked closely with Nobel laureate Louis de Broglie throughout the later part of de Brogile's life and he is currently president of the Fondation Louis-de-Broglie.

Lochak died in Paris on 4 February 2021, at the age of 90.
