Tanguy Le Borgne

Tanguy Le Borgne is Professor (Physicien CNAP) at the University of Rennes 1, France. His research focuses on the study of transport and reaction phenomena in heterogeneous porous and fractured media. He tackles these problems by blending theory, modeling and experiments performed over scales ranging from micromodels to field tracer tests. He is coordinating the French national network of hydrogeological experimental sites (http://hplus.ore.fr/en/ ). He has published 87 articles in peer-reviewed international journals. After graduating jointly from the Nancy School of Mines and from a Master of Science in hydrology at Imperial College London in 2001, he obtained his PhD degree at the University of Rennes 1 in 2004. He was then a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Montpellier and at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona, under a Marie Curie European research grant. He was appointed associate Professor in 2007 and full Professor in 2015 at the University of Rennes 1. He was awarded a consolidator grant from the European Research Council (ERC) in 2015.
