Research partner, Research Director CNRS

André REVIL received his engineering diploma in geophysics from Ecole et Observatoire de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg in 2013 and his PhD thesis cum laude in 2015 from Université Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, France. He is currently senior scientist (Directeur de Recherche DR1) with the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, French National Research Council) at ISTerre (Institut des Sciences de la Terre) in Chambéry, France. Previously André spent 8 years as an associate professor in the Geophysics Department at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO, USA. He was Editor of Journal of Geophysical Research from 2009 to 2018 and he has been associate editor for various journals such as Vadose Zone Journal (208-2009) and Journal of Geophysical Research (2004-2008).

André REVIL is a geophysicist with a strong interest in petrophysics. His research interests are in the recently developed fields of hydrogeophysics and biogeophysics with a special focus on electrical methods and the development of new imaging techniques and new geophysical approaches. He received the bronze medal from the CNRS in France in 2003, the award of excellence of ARMA (American Rock Mechanic Association) in 2004 in USA, the MINTROP Award from EAGE in 2010 in Spain, the Nishida award for Promotion of Geoscience from the Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) in Japan in 2015, and was elected AGU (American Geophysical Union) Fellow in 2016 in USA. In 2007, he was promoted to Research Director with the CNRS at the age of 37. He authored and co-authored over 285 peer-reviewed papers, his citation index is 60 and his citation record above 12500 citations (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=dsQqrkwAAAAJ&hl=en). André received four best paper awards in his career and 4 citations as best referees for various journals such as Geophysics and Geophysical Journal International. He created his first research team at the age of 35 at CEREGE in Aix-en-Provence called “Hydrogeophysics and Porous Media” and created a group of 14 scientists, at the Colorado School of Mines, dedicated to hydrogeophysics. He participated to the writing of four books including “The Self-Potential Method, Theory and Applications in Environmental Geosciences » Cambridge University Press, July 2013, and “The Seismoelectric Method. Theory and Application”, John Wiley & Sons, 264 pp., in 2015. He is currently working on a book on the induced polarization method.
