Congratulations to Samuel Angiboust (geology), Anne Benoit (computer science) and Grégory Miermont (mathematics), as well as to the alumni nominated. At the end of May 2023, the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF, Academic Institute of France) unveiled the list of members appointed as of 1 October 2023, for a period of 5 years.

Named Junior Member, laureate in the Fundamental Chair category Professor, director of the Earth Sciences Department at ENS de Lyon Affiliated to the Laboratory of Geology of Lyon: Earth, Planets, Environment (LGL-TPE, CNRS/ENS de Lyon/Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University) - Samuel Angiboust is recruted at ENS de Lyon in 2021. His current work aims to understand the physical and petrological processes at work at the base of large subduction zone earthquakes, combining field geology, microscopic observations on natural samples and thermo-mechanical modeling. The IUF will enable me to focus my attention on a multidisciplinary project that is close to my heart. It is also an important step in my career, because an international jury recognized the importance of my research theme and encouraged it by appointing me as a junior member of this institution.
