It is a very sad news that a young scientist Dr. Alexandre Legros of our committee has passed away. Dr. Legros was appointed as the SC3 Co-Chairman in January 2020, and to lead the next revision of C95.1-2019, especially on the revision of low frequency exposure limits. However, on February 10, 2025, Alex Legros died after a long illness. Dr. Legros was born in Versailles, France in 1976. Dr. Legros received his Ph.D. in Human Movement Sciences in 2004 and completed a first postdoctoral fellowship on Electrical Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and motor symptoms in dystonic syndromes in the Neurosurgery Unit of the Guy de Chauliac Hospital in Montpellier, France. He completed a second postdoctoral fellowship (2005-2007) in the Bioelectromagnetics group at Lawson, where he was recruited as a scientist in September 2007. Dr. Alexandre Legros was a Principal Investigator and Director of the Bioelectromagnetics and Human Threshold Research Group at the Lawson Health Research Institute (LHRI – London, Ontario, Canada). In the context of developing EuroStim, Dr. Alexandre Legros was coordinating research agreements between multiple institutions (Lawson, EuroMov, the University of Montpellier, EuroStim, EDF, RTE, Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec, National Grid, EPRI). Dr. Legros had expertise in the fields of neurosciences, kinesiology, biophysics applied to the study of the interaction between time-varying magnetics field induced electric fields and currents in conductive tissues. His research interests mainly related to the effects of specific electric and magnetic stimuli (DBS; Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation; time-varying magnetic fields) on human brain processing, motor control and cognitive functions. He was a board member (2013-2015) and was secretary of the board of directors of the Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS), was the Technical Program Committee co-chair for BioEM2018 and was the Chair of the Local Organising committee for BioEM2019, and also as the co-chair of the Local Organizing Committee BioEM 2025 in Rennes. Dr. Legros was the Canadian chair for URSI commission K and he was chairing the Non-Ionizing Radiations Task Group of the IRPA (International Radio Protection Association). The bioelectromagnetics community lost a brilliant scientist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
