The results were published in Voyages dans la Grande Bretagne entrepris relativement aux services publics de la guerre, de la marine depuis 1816 (1820-1824). In 1816, after some difficulty, Dupin was allowed to visit Great Britain to study its arsenals and other technical installations. In the same year, he became a correspondent of the Institut de France. That year he published his Développements de géométrie. At the Toulon shipyard in 1813, Dupin founded a maritime museum that became a model for others, such as that at the Louvre. In 1810, on his way back to France, he was detained by illness at Pisa and during his convalescence he edited a posthumous book by his friend Leopold Vacca Berlinghierri, Examen des travaux de César au siège d’Alexia (Paris, 1812). He restored the port, did fundamental research on the resistance of materials and the differential geometry of surfaces, and became secretary of the newly founded Ionian Academy. After assignments in Antwerp, Genoa, and Toulon, he was placed in charge of the damaged naval arsenal on Corfu in 1807. In 1801, under the guidance of his teacher Gaspard Monge, Dupin had made his first discovery, the eyelid (of Dupin). In 1834 he was minister of marine affairs, in 1838 he became a peer, and in 1852 he was appointed to the senate.In 1855 he reported on the progress of the arts and sciences, as represented at the Paris World Exhibition the part of the report dealing with Massachusetts was published in English (1865). In 1828 Dupin was elected deputy for Tarn, and he continued to serve in politics until 1870. Many of Dupin’s lectures on industry and the arts were published in Géométrie et mécanique des arts et métiers et des beaux arts (1825) his Sur les forces productives et commerciales de France appeared two years later. His Applications de géométrie et de mécanique (1822) was a continuation of the Développements but placed greater stress on applications.

His free public lectures, dealing with mathematics and mechanics and their industrial applications, became very popular.
Settling down to a life of teaching and public service, Dupin accepted the position of professor of mechanics at the Paris Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers, a position he held until 1854.
