= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Impact = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = The Astrophysicist Jacques P. Vallée's scientific research, over the last 30 years, has involved observations and analysis of magnetic fields in and around astronomical objects. His specialty is magnetic astronomy - the study of how magnetic forces act as 'midwife' in the delivery of a protostar, twist and wind through the interstellar medium, influence how clusters of galaxies form and may even shape the Universe itself.
* Jacques received his PhD in Astronomy from the Univ. of Toronto, following a MSc Physics, a BSc Physics, and a BA Arts at the Univ. de Montréal. He is currently Senior Research Council Officer at NRC Canada. --> Tables of  140+ professional articles, 72+ presentations to peers, 14 scientific reviews, and 3 covers of scientific journals.
* He discovered "escaping cloudlets" in the collision of 2 interstellar clouds (1995), the B ~ n**1 relation for magnetic field B and gas density n in a supershell around a young stellar association - now called Vallée's Law (1993), the magnetic field in the Perseus spiral arm (1983), the B ~ n**0.2 relation for magnetic field B and gas density n on galactic scale (1990), the B~[SFR]**0.1 relation for magnetic field B and star formation rate SFR on galactic scale (1994), and the magnetic field and rotation measure in the local supercluster of galaxies (1990). With co-workers, he was the first to discover the magnetic field in the Scutum spiral arm (1988), the magnetic field in the gas in a cluster of galaxies (1986), and the largest head-tail radio galaxy (1988), and others. --> Tables of 'science firsts', citations, leadership, collaborators, prestigious archives.

  In addition to his research schedule, Dr. Vallée fulfills several different functions for various organizations (public relations, communications).
* In Public Relations, he is HIA's Information Agent for the Media and coordinates the Institute's outreach efforts, serving the media and presenting materials for the public. --> Tables of  130+ media interviews, 210+ public papers, 14 oral presentations to the public, 8 web productions for the public .
* In Communications, he serves as HIA Correspondent for NRC Ottawa (Zone, CS Communic, CS Public Awareness Team), serving as HIA Technical Secretary for university TACs (optical Gemini & CFHT, radio JCMT) and university CNC (URSI), HIA link to astronomy professionals (CASCA, Cassiopeia). --> Tables of activities, and training.
