Expertise Mechanics of porous media,Hydraulic fracturing,Dense suspensions flow,Geomechanics,Geo-energy,Rock mechanics I am currently leading the Geo-Energy Lab - Gaznat Chair on GeoEnergy at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Prior to joining EPFL, I have worked for Schlumberger in research and development from 2006 until May 2015 - serving in a variety of roles ranging from project manager to principal scientist in both Europe and the United States. I received my PhD in mechanics from Ecole Polytechnique, France in 2002 and worked as a research scientist in the hydraulic fracturing research group of CSIRO division of Petroleum resources (Melbourne, Australia) from 2003 to 2006.My current research aims at understanding the interplay between the growth of localized discontinuities in the Earth upper crust (in the form of fractures and faults) and fluid flow in geomaterials with applications in the field of environmental, civil engineering, seismology and tectonophysics. I am thus working at the intersection between continuum mechanics (solid and fluid dynamics) and geophysics, solving problems related to the energy transition (Geothermal Energy, CO2 storage, ...).
