Bit of a hard one as the limit is 80 chars.

Is he actually a physicist, as the article says? If so, I don't see that the title is misleading.

I suppose it could say "French physicist loses philosophy doctorate after plagiarism investigation" but it would probably lead to a different sort of confusion.

He is an engineer in material physics (DEA is basically Master degree in engineering + 1 year of internship/certification).
