T. Sarnet
Thierry SARNET is a scientist known for his work on material modifications, in particular using laser processes, with 60+ international publications, and several dozen invited conferences in these fields.
After a PhD in Physics on laser-matter interaction (1995), he worked for National Defense on the defense systems of the nuclear aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. Recruited in 1997 by the American space agency NASA1, he moved to the USA (Minnesota) to study the resistance of the materials of the American Space Shuttle and also worked for the graphics industry to develop laser engraving processes for polymers. (Global Graphics2).
He joined the CNRS in Orsay in 2001, assigned to the Institute of Fundamental Electronics (IEF3) to develop laser processes for microelectronics and micro and nanotechnologies. In 2006, he joined the LP34 at Luminy, Marseille and headed the "Laser, Energy and Environment" group. Part of his work on photovoltaics and "Black Silicon" was done in collaboration with Harvard University and the group of Professor Eric MAZUR5. He joined the MAZUR group in 2012-2013 as a visiting professor at Harvard. This collaboration enabled the manufacture of a prototype silicon photovoltaic cell that absorbs and convert solar infrared radiation, a world premiere published in 20216.
Thierry SARNET has also been passionate about the Native Americans since his childhood, and has been participating for the past thirty years as a volunteer in non-profit organizations in numerous events, reconstitutions of camps, replicas of Native American objects, intended for the general public, schools, exhibitions, museums etc…. In this context, he produced a replica headdress (warbonnet) in collaboration with the Peabody Museum, intended for the Education department of the University of HARVARD7.
His meeting with Frédéric SAUMADE8, Professor of Anthropology at Aix-Marseille University, marked a turning point in his career as he decided to orient his research towards an interdisciplinary approach between the physics of materials, anthropology, museography, etc. The birth of this new discipline, since baptized “Ethnomimetics”, was greeted with enthusiasm by its new associated laboratory: IDEMEC9, based at the MMSH in Aix-en-Provence, and supported by the French CNRS and funded by the MITI10.
Thanks to this support, the I-Mat project begins in 2021 and allowed the deployment of the web portal of Ethnomimetics11, as well as the recruitment of a PhD student: Mathieu MOUREY, from EHESS12 and holder of a Master in Anthropology , specializing in Ethnology and Social Anthropology, whose thesis is entitled: “From the Great Plains to European Museums: towards an ethno-historical approach to ethnographic collections (1725 - 2016)”.
Keywords: Ethnomimetics - Anthropology / Material Science and Physics / Interdisciplinarity - Heritage of North American Indian Societies - Physical and Virtual 3D Replicas – Museology - Research-Service and Development.
