Married in 1963, he has three children.[1]After studying at the Sokolska Gymnasium in Brno, he joined the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technical University of Prague, from which he graduated in 1954 as an engineer from the Prague Polytechnic. He was awarded a Doctor of Science degree in 1955.[1][2]Professional career[edit]After a year (1957-1958) spent at the Meudon observatory as a researcher in radio astronomy, Erich Spitz joined the Compagnie g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de la t\u00e9l\u00e9graphie sans fil (CSF), which merged in 1968 with the French company Thomson-Houston (CFTH), a subsidiary of Thomson-Brandt to create the Thomson-CSF group, which in 2000 was renamed Thales.[1]From 1958 to 1968, Erich Spitz was a researcher in the Applied Physics Department of the new Corbeville Research Centre that the CSF had just created in 1957 near the Commissariat \u00e0 l’Energie Atomique (CEA) in Saclay, notably under the impetus of Jean Robieux. Head of the laboratory from 1968, he took over the management of the research centre, which was named “Laboratoire Central de Recherche” (LCR) in 1975.In 1983, he was appointed “Technical and Research Director” of the Thomson group, succeeding Pierre Aigrain, then in 1986 “Deputy Managing Director in charge of research and technology”. In 1988, he created the “Scientific and Technical College” bringing together the best experts from Thomson-CSF.[3] Since 1995, he has been “Advisor to the Chairman “.[1]In addition, from 2001 to 2009, Erich Spitz was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Thales Avionics LCD SA, a subsidiary of Thales Avionics S.A.[2]Now retired, Erich Spitz is quite active as a Business Angel in the Paris Business Angel club. He invested, amongst other in the startup Cypheme.[4]Scientific work[edit]The main scientific work of Erich Spitz, which has led to numerous patent applications,[5] is related to:[2]\u00a0\u00a0 inventions of new antennas for radio communications, in particular for space applications;\u00a0\u00a0 high-capacity telecommunications using laser light in optical fibres. On this subject, Erich Spitz studied with Jean-Claude Simon in the CSF laboratory as early as 1963, the guided propagation of a coherent optical wave6.\u00a0\u00a0 first optical disks for recording audio and video information\u00a0;\u00a0\u00a0 new methods of information processing using laser light,\u00a0\u00a0 liquid crystal flat screens.Publications and books[edit]Publications[edit]Some of Erich Spitz’s major publications:[2]\u00a0\u00a0 Progressive coupling and its application to antennas, Annals of Radio Electricity, T.
