Self-Introduction
Jean-Pierre Vilotte (res.id H-1552-2017) is Professor at the Institut de
Physique du Globe de Paris, and Director of the High-performance Computer
and Data Analysis Centre of IPGP. He is also Scientific Deputy at the French
CNRS-INSU for high-performance computing, data and information technology.
He was awarded Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2015.
His research activity is at the interface between geophysics, mathematics,
statistical physics, computational and data sciences. His current research
interests include earthquake and slow earthquake seismology, earthquake
rupture dynamics, statistical signal analysis. In the last years, he has
been collaborating with Professor Kazushige Obara on array-based slow earthquake
signal detection, source location and restoration. During his stay at ERI,
he plans to collaborate with Professor Obara and his collaborators, in
particular for the statistical analysis of slow earthquakes activity in
relation with large earthquakes as plate boundaries are slowly driven out
of equilibrium. This research is also linked to a recent European Research
Council project (SEISMAZE) that Nikolai Shapiro and he are coordinating
on tectonic and volcanic slow earthquakes.
