Sylvain MICHEL-B&W.jpg

I am a lecturer at the LGL-TPE laboratory in Lyon, France. I received my PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK, in 2018, with a significant part of my doctoral research conducted at Caltech, USA. After my PhD, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at ENS, CEA, and ASNR in Paris, and at Géoazur in Sophia-Antipolis, France. My background also includes a 1,5 year experience in the private sector as an exploration geologist in Australia.

​

My research aims at improving our understanding of the mechanics and dynamics of active faults during all phases of the earthquake cycle. I also focus on the development of physics-based methods for the evaluation of seismic hazard and associated uncertainties taking advantage of geodetic data and advanced statistical analysis.
