Biography
Born in 1961, I studied physics at Ecole normale supérieure, Paris, and specialized in nuclear physics and high energy physics. I did my thesis in 1986 under the join supervision of René Turlay (1932-2002) and Friedrich Dydak (1943-) in the CDHS neutrino experiment at CERN (European Centre for Nuclear Research, Geneva) lead by Jack Steinberger (Physics Nobel Prize 1988), and then was post-doc in Stanford University (Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre SLAC) in the division lead by Richard Taylor (Physics Nobel Prize 1990). In 1989, I was hired at the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), worked again at CERN, but then moved to geophysics in 1993 to study precursory phenomena associated with earthquakes together with Jean-Philippe Avouac
