Technical coordinator, Research Engineer, CNRS

Mickaël Langlais graduated from polytech’Nantes in 1999 as an engineer in electronics. After a professional experience (1999-2006) in R & D within the industrial company SERCEL (CGG-VERITAS) where he developed electronic systems for the acquisition of geophysical data, Mickael Langlais joined the CNRS in 2006 at the ISTerre laboratory (Grenoble). He started there as the technical manager of the French Accelerometric Network (SNO-RAP).

Since he joined CNRS, Mickael Langlais extended his activity and his expertise to different observation fields at ISTerre with a permanent concern for improving measurements (more data and better quality) by offering new solution for the instrumentation and infrastructures. After having piloted the technical aspects of several European (RISE, CASSAT, ENVRI +) and national (RAP-NBAP, RESIF-CLB) research projects for the laboratory, Mickael Langlais took the lead of ISTerre’s Geophysical Instrumentation technical service since 2017.

The scientific instrumentation applied to geosciences is the core business of Mickael Langlais. Mickael Langlais brings his technical expertise in geophysical instrumentation (data acquisition, transmission, pre-processing) to research projects related to seismic monitoring, seismic risk understanding, and landslide or rock fall studies. In the recent years, he was particularly involved in the monitoring of seismic activity in the Alps with a focus on seismic swarm phenomena.
