About the Author: Patrick Bertrand received his undergraduate education at the Ecole Centrale de Paris. He received his PhD in physics in 1977 and his doctorat es sciences in 1981. Since 1989, he has been a Professor at the Université de Provence, now Aix-Marseille University. He is a well-known specialist in the applications of EPR spectroscopy to the study of electron-transfer proteins and redox enzymes. He is the author of over a hundred publications and several books in this field.
