Co-organizer with Jay Ague (Yale) of a DCO workshop on 'Tectonic fluxes of Carbon' pre-AGU 2013. Member of the Scientific committee for international workshops (GEEA 2010, CorseAlps 2011). Several scientific sessions organized at workshops and international conferences. AWARDS 2010: Grand prix Michel Gouilloud - Schlumberger from the french Academy of Sciences. 2010: Laureate of an Emergence Grant from the council of the city of Paris. RESEARCH Carbonaceous material in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks: origin (biogenic/abiotic, fossilization processes), chemical and structural evolution (roles of P, T, t, chemistry) and weathering processes (preservation/alteration of graphitic carbons during erosion). Some research projects: # Calibration and development of RSCM thermometry # Thermal metamorphism in various mountain belts # Generation of abiotic organic carbon in rocks # Fossilization processes of organic matter. Mineralogy/organic petrology in fossils # Erosion and the fate of petrogenic organic carbon # Carbon cycling in subduction zones Mars exploration and Mars mineralogy (I am co-investigator for the SuperCam instrument of the NASA Mars 2020 mission) PhD students (co-)advised: Sylvain Bernard (2008), Abdeltif Lahfid (2008), Franck Bourdelle (2011), Matthieu Galvez (2011), Francesca Piccoli (2014-), Amaury Fau (2016-). Postdocs : Marta Marocchi (2011-2012), Sabrina Berlendis (2011-2013), Alberto Vitale Brovarone (2012-2014). Tools : field geology, HRTEM, Raman, IR, XRD, STXM-XANES. Fieldwork : European Alps, Corsica, Norway, Nepal, Taiwan, New Zealand, California, Vietnam. I run a Raman spectroscopy lab at IMPMC including (i) Renishaw InVia Reflex with 514 nm wavelength and Renishaw InVia Reflex with 532 and 785 nm wavelengths (both optimized for Raman mapping) and (ii) a homemade time-resolved Raman spectroscopy experiment. |
