Roberto Aureliano Salmeron (June 16, 1922 – June 17, 2020) was a Brazilian
electrical engineer and experimental nuclear physicist and an emeritus Research Director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research
(CNRS).
Salmeron was born in
Marcelo Damy de Souza Santos and Jayme Tiomno
.
From 1953 onwards, Salmeron lived in Europe, first doing his
Patrick Blackett, Nobel Prize winner of Physics, and then as an associate researcher in the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), in Geneva
, Switzerland, from 1955 to 1963.
In 1963, Salmeron returned to Brazil and accepted a post as professor of physics in the newly created
Universidade de Brasília
. Unfortunately, the military dictatorship repressed strongly the faculty with liberal and leftist ideas and he joined 223 other professors in protest, who resigned from the University in October 1965.
In 1966 Salmeron left definitely Brazil and went to work in Europe at CERN again, where he had an important role in experiments attempting to discover the
École Polytechnique
in Paris, France, one of the most important schools of engineering in the world.
