Fokko du Cloux (December 20 1954 – November 10 2006) was a mathematician and computer scientist who worked on the Atlas of Lie groups and representations until his death on November 10 2006. One of the founding members of the project, he was responsible for building the Atlas software which was instrumental in the mapping of the E8 Lie Group. The Project successfully managed to map the structure of the E8 group in 2007.

  • Fokko du Cloux (20 décembre 1954 - 11 novembre 2006) est un mathématicien français dont les recherches ont contribué à la résolution du décodage de E8. Ce chercheur et enseignant à l'université de Lyon 1 a mis au point l’algorithme puis le logiciel permettant de faire réaliser les calculs par des ordinateurs. Il est malheureusement décédé d'une SLA 2 mois avant le résultat des calculs, achevés le 8 janvier 2007 et publiés en mars 2007. (fr)
