Dr. Chloé Arson is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University and an adjunct faculty in the Schools of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech. She earned her Ph.D. at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (France) in 2009. She was an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University from 2009 to 2012. Then, she worked as an Assistant Professor (2012-2016), Associate Professor (2016-2022) and Professor (2022-2023) in the Georgia Tech School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Arson joined the faculty at Cornell University in Summer 2023.
Dr. Arson’s expertise is damage and healing rock mechanics, micro-macro modeling of porous media, and computational geomechanics. Her group develops numerical tools to assess the performance and environmental impacts of underground storage and rock fracturing, explain the formation of soil by rock weathering, and design sustainable bio-inspired geotechnical systems. Lately, Arson started investigating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize subsurface exploration and enhance multi-scale geomechanical models.
