Benoit NOETINGER

Dr B Noetinger, editor-in-chief STET https://www.stet-review.org/, expert in transport modeling in disordered media

Summary

Benoît Noetinger  graduated from the École Polytechnique in Paris, and holds a thesis at UPMC (now Sorbonne University) in liquid state physics, the work of which was carried out at the PMMH laboratory of ESPCI. He supported an HDR at UPMC in 2000.

He joined IFPEN in 1989, to work on the development of up-scaling techniques allowing to carry out large-scale simulations of flows in porous media by using detailed information as well as possible, that are more and more numerous because of the improvement of acquisition techniques.

Benoît has taken responsibility for various research projects involving industrial partners (PETROBRAS, TOTAL, Gaz de France), while co-supervising thesis projects allowing him to stay in close contact with  academic teams. He also developed original techniques from statistical physics to model flows in fractured media.

Benoît was advisor of 8 PhD students and teaches in engineering schools such as  Centralesupelec, les Mines de Paris, IFP School, UPPA. He taught at university of  Wyoming. He is invited visiting scientist at USTC Hefei,  China. He is member of scientific committees of conferences such as NTERPORE international conference on Porous media.

He authored  7 patents and   60 peer-reviwed articles. he evaluated grant applications ANR, he carried out  laboratory evaluations  HCERES.  He is member of the editorial committee of  CR Géosciences, published by French Académie des Sciences

 

He was awarded Prix Adrien Constantin de Magny 2019 by the Académie des Sciences (French Academy of Sciences).

He was awarded ERC Synergy grant https://www.ifpenergiesnouvelles.com/article/karst-research-project-ifpen-recipient-erc-synergy-grant
