Director-general of ITER, the world’s largest fusion experiment.
Bernard Bigot said, “We try to understand nature, and then we try, within human limitations, to recreate what nature shows us.” He was referring to fusion energy, to which he devoted the final years of his life. The statement illuminates equally well his contributions to society as a chemist, physicist, educator, administrator and inspirational leader.
Born in Blois in the Loire Valley, France, in 1950, Bigot won admission to the École Normale Supérieure of Saint-Cloud, where he pursued two teaching degrees. In 1979, he graduated with a PhD in theoretical chemistry from the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris.
Bigot’s international network, and his natural diplomatic talent, proved precious when he came to steer ITER — a collaboration between China, Europe, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States — through sometimes treacherous waters. His greatest challenge came in 2020, with the onset of COVID-19.
