In 1992, has twenty-five years of professional experience in the natural resources industry, he first worked on the implementation of advanced statistical tools on operational software, two years in London at a software publisher Oil & Gas (SSI) for the calibration of production histories, then two years in Brest at the Hydrographic Service of the French Navy on hydrographic data from multi-beam sounders. In 1998, he joined TOTAL in Paris where for 10 years he applied geostatistical modeling to geology and reservoir engineering for the evaluation of resources and reserves in oil/gas fields around the world. In 2008, he joined AREVA as a senior geostatistician in charge of evaluating uranium and gold resources in the Mining business unit. Since 2018, he has been a teacher-researcher in the geostatistics team of the Geosciences Center of the École de Mines.
His research focuses on advanced applications of geostatistics to the assessment of natural resources and the quantification of uncertainties. He has contributed to the development of geostatistical simulations and non-linear techniques that have since become common practice (MCMC methods applied to the modeling of geological facies; discrete approach for deposits with heavy-tailed grade distribution). He is currently working on the integration of physical or phenomenological models into geostatistical models, with the constant concern of making the most advanced techniques accessible to practitioners.
