Jacques Richer is a researcher at the Université de Montréal specializing in astrophysics. His expertise includes the development and application of the xevol code for stellar evolution, which encompasses the diffusion of 30 elements, including isotopes, coupled with their specific radiative forces. The unique aspect of the xevol code is the calculation of these radiative forces at every point within stars, instantaneously, utilizing detailed spectra provided by the OPAL project or calculated by his team for trace elements such as Lithium and Boron. Richer's current research focuses on studying the characteristics of HgMn and AmFm type stars and their atmospheric physics. This work integrates a detailed analysis of stellar atmospheres using radiative transfer codes and involves collaboration with researchers from Meudon and Moncton. He previously led research projects at the Centre de Recherche en Astrophysique du Québec from 2008 to 2017, funded by the Fonds de recherche du Québec.
