Biography

Vianney Sivelle was born in Grenoble, France, in 1993. He received his M.S. degree in civil and environmental engineering at Bordeaux University in 2016. He gets a PhD grant from the French ministry of teaching and research (MESR, 2016-2019) and defended a PhD thesis “Conceptual, systemic and distributed approaches for artificial tracer tests interpretation in karst: implication for the determination of the internal structure of karst aquifers”. He continues his research in karst hydrology at Montpellier University (2019-2023) where he dedicates his activities in assessing effect of climate change on karst groundwater and develops lumped parameter modeling approaches. Then, he obtains a grant from the Italian national research council (CNR, 2023-2024) to work on the use of high-resolution satellite data for hydrological modeling in the Mediterranean area.
