In memory of Max Goldman<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Max Goldman passed away in the Jerusalem mountains in the early hours of Sunday August 13, 2017, at the age of 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After starting his career with the French Ministry of Defense and the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), he joined the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) as a self-taught scientist, with diplomas from the CNAM and a university doctorate on vacuum discharges for the development of a flash X-ray tube. Then hired as deputy director of the Laboratoire de Synth\u00e8se atomique et d’Otique protonique in Ivry, he joined Supelec, where he set up the CNRS Laboratoire de Physique des D\u00e9charges, first located in Malakoff, then transferred to Gif in 1974, and which in 1996 became associated with the Laboratoire de Physique des Gaz et des Plasmas of the Universit\u00e9 Paris-Sud (UMR 8578).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Max Goldman has never ceased to be interested in the basic phenomena of the initiation mechanisms and spatial and temporal development of a panoply of different types of electric discharge, as well as in their physico-chemical properties, with a constant concern to find new applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together with his colleagues, including Emmanuel Marode, Gildas Hartmann, G\u00e9rard Berger, Robert Haug, as well as Jean-Pascal Borra and Emmanuel Odic among the youngest, and sometimes in collaboration with Prof. Amouroux of Universit\u00e9 Paris VI-ENSCP or Prof. Sigmond of the University of Trondheim in Norway, he has contributed to the development of numerous plasma processes (surface treatments, lightning conductors, ozone generators, VOC depollution, aero production\/filtration, etc.). Sigmond from the University of Trondheim in Norway, he has contributed to the development of numerous plasma processes (surface treatments, lightning conductors, ozone generators, VOC depollution, aerosol production\/filtration, bacterial decontamination, etc.), subjects which are still topical as they are still being developed in various \u201cplasma\u201d laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To those who had the good fortune to have known him, Max Goldman leaves behind the memory of a man who was very close to his wife Alice in both his professional and private life, naturally optimistic, enterprising, enthusiastic, combative, warm-hearted, always ready to give to help and always proud of the vocations he was able to inspire in young people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/main>\n\n\n\n Bat 210, rue Henri Becquerel<\/p>\n\n\n\n 91405 Orsay Cedex<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phone: (33) 01 69 15 72 51<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nLaboratoire de Physique des Gaz et des Plasmas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
