Education and Professional experience
December 2000 PhD thesis in University Montpellier II : “Kinematics of the deformation in North Tibet”. Direction Prof. M. Brunel (UMII) and Dr. J. Malavieille
(CNRS).
January 2001 Post-Doctoral fellow at University Glasgow. Fission tracks and U-Th/He
thermochronology. CRUST (Constraining Regional Uplift, Sedimentation and Thermochronology) project (P.I. P. Bishop).
October 2002 Chargé de recherches 2nd class, CNRS, Montpellier.
October 2007 Chargé de recherches 1rst class, CNRS, Montpellier.
Mai 2009 Habilitation to Direct Researches at University Montpellier 2 : “Tectonic and
topographic fabric : low temperature thermochronology constraints on the analysis
of the orogens”.
– Build-up and management of a fission track thermochronology lab in University
Montpellier 2, University Glasgow and University of Rennes 1. Build-up of an UTh/He facility in Montpellier.
– Direction or co-direction of 6 PhD students and 7 Master students.
– Member of the Laboratory Counsel of the former Dynamique de la Lithosphère and
actual Géosciences Montpellier Laboratory (2005 – 2009).
– Scientific administrator of the National Dating Platform project, Observatoire des
Sciences de l’Univers de Rennes, CNRS, University Rennes 1.
– Management of 3 international research project and 3 national research projects.
Research interest Specialist in low temperature thermochronology (fission track
analysis and (U-Th)/He dating) applied to tectonic processes and relief building. The
main research interest is the tectonic and topographic evolution of Central Asia (from
Tibet to Baikal) and especially the influence of the Mesozoic tectonic and sedimentary
structures on the localisation of the Tertiary deformation.
