Prof. Dr. Brice Lecampion is currently leading the Geo-Energy Lab-Gaznat Chair on GeoEnergy at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Before joining EPFL, he worked for Schlumberger in research and development from 2006 until May 2015 and served in a variety of roles ranging from project manager to principal scientist in both Europe and the United States. He received his PhD in mechanics from Ecole Polytechnique, France, in 2002 and worked as a research scientist in the hydraulic fracturing research group of the CSIRO Division of Petroleum Resources (Melbourne, Australia) from 2003 to 2006. His current research aims to understand the interplay between the growth of localized discontinuities in the Earth’s upper crust (in the form of fractures and faults) and fluid flow in geomaterials with applications in the field of environmental and civil engineering, seismology, and tectonophysics. He is, 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, etc.).
