Yann Mambrini is Research Director at the French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) in the Irene Joliot Curie Laboratory, at University Paris-Saclay. His research interests concern the field of particle physics and fundamental interactions. He works actively on extensions of the Standard Model, from Supergravity to Grand Unified Theories, and more specifically on their cosmological consequences, especially involving dark matter aspects. He was awarded with the Prix d'Excellence Scientifique of the National Research Council in 2010, 2014 and 2018. Currently, he is lecturing at Ecole Normal Sup�rieure. One of his passion is the concept of time, from its measurement to its nature, and the history of ideas in physics. He wrote several popular books on the subject: Histoires de Temps and Le Si�cle des r�volutions Scientifiques , Ed. Ellipses and Newton � la Plage , Ed. Dunod. He shares this passion with magic, with which he presents shows for the general public mixing illusions, time and mysteries of the universe. See less
