Awards
Guillaume Caumon becomes a senior member of Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). Congratulations !
Congratulations to Dr. Corentin Gouache (former RING PhD student sponsored by CCR) for a special mention at the 2021 Risk Science Price awarded by the Optimind Foundation for his PhD work on sesmic event simulation in areas of low to moderate seismic activity !
Each year, the French Académie des Sciences awards nearly 80 prizes covering all scientific fields. This year, it honoured 3 researchers from Université de Lorraine were recipients of Academy Awards on 15 October 2019 under the dome of the Institut de France, including Guillaume Caumon, awarded the “Michel Gouilloud-Schlumberger” Prize.
Congratulations!
Nicolas Clausolles received the best student presentation award at the IAMG 2018 conference for his talk on salt interpretation uncertainties (related paper here).
In 2016, Guillaume Caumon was awarded the Regional Distinguished Achievement Award for Petroleum Engineering Faculty for the South, Central and East Europe Region by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
Gautier Laurent, Guillaume Caumon and Mark Jessell received the 2015 Computers & Geosciences best paper Award (computational category) for their work on interactive editing of 3D geological structures.
Jeanne Pellerin received the Computers and Geosciences Research Scholarship from the International Association of Mathematical Geosciences for her PhD and postdoctoral work on hybrid meshing.
This work led to several publications for remeshing and simplification of boundary representations and generating conformable hybrid meshes. Jeanne Pellerin did her PhD under the supervision of Bruno Levy and Guillaume Caumon. She is currently a postdoctoral scholar at WIAS in Berlin.
Jeanne Pellerin, Bruno Levy, Guillaume Caumon and Arnaud Botella obtained the 2014 Computers & Geosciences Best Paper Award (computational category) for their work on 3D model remeshing.
Antoine Bouziat received the MSc Presentation Award at the SPE Regional contest in Aberdeen, for his work on Vector field based fault modelling and stratigraphic horizons deformation, advised by Gautier Laurent and Guillaume Caumon. This work eventually led to a Tectonophysics paper.
In 2011, Jean-Laurent Mallet received the Erasmus Award 2011 from the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, "in recognition of his groundbreaking research and development work over four decades in applied mathematics and computer sciences related to geology. Jean-Laurent Mallet originated Numerical Geology in Nancy as a Professor, first by developing automatic mapping methods in the 70's and 80's, then by creating the Gocad Consortium in 1989. In 2006, he retired from the university and has been working with Paradigm since then.
Nicolas Cherpeau received an Award of Merit for his presentation on structural uncertainty at the 2010 Annual Conference of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in Denver. This SEG extended abstract set the grounds for two important publications by Nicolas:
- A paper on history matching acting on the geometry and connectivity of fault networks
- A paper on stochastic structural modeling in sparse data settings and its impact on accumulations estimates
Guillaume Caumon received the Andrei Borisovich Vistelius Research Award from the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences at the 2009 Annual IAMG conference in Stanford, CA.
In 2009, the Gocad Research Consortium received the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.
Luc Buatois received the Outstanding Student Paper Award at the High Performance Computing Conference for his work on GPGPU computing. You can access the HPCC conference paper, the {following publi 2031 journal paper} and the corresponding Concurrent Number Cruncher computer code.
Jean-Laurent Mallet was awarded the Prix Marcel Roubault by the Société Géologique de France in 2005.
