Henri Mouton

Henri Julien Désiré Mouton ( born September 5, 1869 in Cambrai, Nord, † June 13, 1935 in Bezons, Département Val -d'Oise ) was a French biologist and chemist.

Life

Mouton 1889 began his studies at the École Normale Supérieure in 1902 and his doctorate with a dissertation on the digestive system of the amoeba to docteur ès sciences. He was a biologist at the Pasteur Institute and from 1917 maître de conférences at the Faculté des Sciences in Paris. In 1927 he became a professor of physical chemistry.

His most important work was the discovery in 1907 of the Cotton -Mouton effect in cooperation with Aimé Auguste Cotton ( 1869-1951 ). Mouton also translated four works by Jacques Loeb from English into French.
