"name": "Laurent Ailleres",
"title": "Chief Investigator",
"bio": "Initially trained as a structural geologist, Laurent was awarded his PhD in 1996 in France, having worked in the French Alps, from an office only meters away from the development of Gocad. Since 1996, he has been a research fellow at Monash University. He introduced Gocad to the Australian mining industry, academia and many governmental organisations. Laurent is interested in the evolution of tectonic processes through time and their effect on multi-scale mineralisation processes. He specialises in structural geology and geophysics as well as multi-scale 3D geological modelling applied to tectonics and minerals exploration. He teaches field mapping at undergraduate level in poly-deformed metamorphic terranes and advanced structural mapping and structural geophysics at postgraduate level. His geological experience spans multiple scales across Africa, Europe, Australia and the Americas. He leads the Loop initiative to develop the next generation of 3D geological and geophysical modelling tools and champions structurally-ruled probabilistic geological modelling. Laurent is the lead researcher on the Loop Steering Committee",

"name": "Jérémie Giraud",
"title": "Work Package 4 Lead",
"bio": "Jérémie’s training and studies in geophysics led him to France, Canada, the USA and Germany to study and work on various geophysical techniques. He spent a few years in Schlumberger where he learned about joint inversion and worked on the development and application of methodologies for integrated reservoir modelling (based in Milan, Italy). Jérémie then started his PhD in 2015 at the Centre for Exploration Targeting, University of Western Australia, which he completed in 2018. His project focused on the integration of geological modelling and petrophysical information in geophysical inversion and to estimate uncertainty. This is a research avenue that remains at the core of his research interest, and which he now furthers as part of the Loop and MinEx CRC consortia.In the Loop consortium, Jérémie is leading WP4: “Work Package 4 - Geophysical Integration”. In addition to other Loop work packages, he works closely with Dr. Vitaliy Ogarko around the development of the source-code of the inversion platform Tomofast. He also collaborates externally to work on case studies, on the application of deep learning techniques to integrated modelling, and on the recovery of geological quantities from inversion results. Jeremie is involved in the supervision of PhD students contributing to the advancement of WP4-related themes and the Loop platform: Mahtab Rashidifard (start Aug. 2019), Nuwan Suriyaarachchi (start Oct. 2019), and Marina Jeronimo Zarate (to start Apr. 2020). Last, Jeremie participates in the recruitment and supervision of interns and Honours students.",

"name": "Guillaume Pirot",
"title": "Work Package 5 Co-Lead",
"bio": "I started my career as an Information Technology consultant for the retail industry. During 7 years, I maturated my passion for research. A friend dragged me to academia in the field of hydrogeology. Since then, I have been developing 3D geological stochastic models characterized by spatially complex heterogeneous property fields. Motivated by questions related to uncertainty and to subsurface heterogeneity, I became an expert in multiple-point statistics, flow and transport modelling, hydro-geophysical data inversion, Bayesian inversion and optimization techniques. Now, as co-coordinator of work package 5 within the Loop project, I am focusing on uncertainty quantification, propagation and reduction. In a multi-disciplinary integrated modelling framework, uncertainty needs to be considered at every level, from data acquisition to prediction and via joint or hierarchical integration. In interaction with collaborators involved in other work packages and in co-supervising PhD students, I will develop new methods and ensure uncertainty consideration at all levels. ",

During his PhD study he was using hard-sphere simulations to study physical properties of non-equilibrium mixtures of fluids and granular materials. His other areas of expertise include design and development of high-performance computational algorithms in application to geophysical inversion, radioastronomy calibration, and computational geology. In June 2021, Vitaliy joined the Centre for Exploration Targeting to work on the MinEx project Recovery of stratigraphic data from drillhole databases. This project aims to recover stratigraphic information from legacy geological survey drillhole databases. Legacy and new drillhole data are a key constraints for geological understanding and subsequent building of 3D geological models. Company databases held by Australian Geological Surveys often contain complexly coded lithological information, but limited stratigraphic data. This project will develop Open Source algorithms to automate the extraction of lithological and stratigraphic information with associated uncertainty quantification.",
