Biography

Guillaume Pirot began his career as an Information Technology consultant in the retail industry, which sparked a passion for research after 7 years. He transitioned into academia with a focus on hydrogeology, where he specializes in developing 3D geological stochastic models that are characterized by spatially complex heterogeneous property fields. His research centers on questions related to subsurface heterogeneity, with expertise in multiple-point statistics, flow and transport modeling, hydro-geophysical data inversion, and Bayesian inversion optimization techniques. Pirot co-coordinates a project focusing on uncertainty quantification, ensuring that data acquisition and prediction integrate levels of uncertainty accurately. He is also involved in co-supervising PhD students and developing new methods that address uncertainty in modeling. His interests include subsurface characterization, spatial statistics, and the rigorous integration of data inversion and Bayesian inference.
