. From left to right: Sophie-Andrée Blondin, René Doyon and Charles Tisseyre. Astrophysicist René Doyon has just been named Radio-Canada's Scientist of the Year 2022. We spoke with some of his current and former colleagues about what makes his work simply "out of this world." CONTENU - He's one of the four minds behind the instruments that make up the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most complex piece of equipment ever built by humans. He was on the team that captured the first images of a planetary system outside our solar system. In addition to serving as director of the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets and the Mont-Mégantic Observatory, he uses his unique expertise to develop astronomical instruments to search for life "where no man has gone before." René Doyon, a professor at the Université de Montréal's Department of Physics, is an extraordinary astrophysicist. This is the second time that Radio-Canada, the CBC's French-language service, has named him Scientist of the Year.
