I use computer experiments to investigate a range of topics spanning from sedimentary structures at Earth's surface to subducted slabs in the upper mantle. My research addresses for example the formation and evolution of continental rifted margins, microcontinent formation, subduction, continental collision, numerical code development, and analogue-numerical model comparisons.

Geologist interested in defects in minerals and the various mechanisms of transport in the deep Earth. My research focuses on ionic diffusion, especially hydrogen, and the fundamental mechanisms of plastic deformation of minerals and rocks (but mostly olivine). After completing a PhD in 2004 at the Bayerisches Geoinstitute (Germany), I moved to Minneapolis as a LPI post-doctoral fellow. I was hired in 2007 at CNRS-Géoscience Montpellier in France, and moved in 2022 to Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans in Clermont-Ferrand, France. EMU Research Excellence Medal in in 2016.

Triggered by field- and microstructural observations I developed an interest in the dynamic transport properties of rocks in a variety of settings and applications. At our research institute at RWTH-Aachen, I study these mostly in operando (4D) µ-tomographic imaging experiments. I am also very interested in teaching and science communication and constantly aim to improve my skills in both.

I am a mineralogist studying the behaviour of minerals under Earth’s deep mantle conditions. With an interdisciplinary geological background, I combine experimental and theoretical methods with the study of natural specimens, to understand global geodynamics and the evolution of Earth into a habitable planet.

Virginie Pinel was born in 1975. She obtained a doctorate in geophysics from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris in 2002. She then worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES). Since 2004, she has been a researcher at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD). Her main research interests are the application of satellite data to the study and monitoring of volcanoes, and the modelling of magma storage and transport. She is also working on the interactions between climate change and magmatic systems.

My main scientific interest lies in understanding the multi-scale physics of rock failure and strain localisation in relation to rock material properties and coupled dissipative mechanical, hydraulic, thermal, and chemical processes. This problem is one of the fundamental challenges in earth sciences and also highly relevant to the resource sector and civil engineering. To tackle this exciting problem, I combine a broad array of methods, from fieldwork over experimental rock physics using technology such as Synchrotron radiation (with small- and wide-angle scattering, x-ray fluorescence microscopy, micro-diffraction, and ptychography) to using supercomputers for numerical forward models of deformation problems. I obtained a MSc degree in Geology/Palaeontology from Freie Universität Berlin under supervision of Prof. Mark Handy (12/2004) followed by a PhD degree in Tectonophysics guided by Prof. Alexander R. Cruden at the University of Toronto (06/2009). After a postdoctoral fellowship supported by the German DFG at the University of Western Australia supervised by Prof. Klaus Regenauer-Lieb, I assumed my current faculty position at QUT in Brisbane, Australia, in 02/2012.
