Benoit Paris has over 19 years of experience in quantitative hydrogeology, geochemistry, and numerical code development for environmental and radioactive waste isolation projects. He has designed and implemented coupled geochemical (speciation) and groundwater flow and contaminant transport codes, and developed a numerical well test simulator. Dr. Paris has performed groundwater flow and transport modeling studies, in both porous and fractured media, and performed sensitivity and uncertainty analyses on modeling results in support of environmental site assessments and the characterization of deep geologic repositories for radioactive waste. He has also designed, implemented, and interpreted hydrogeological tests for a variety of site characterization projects. Dr. Paris has managed environmental due diligence and investigation projects for sites ranging from gas stations to major petrochemical facilities. Activities at those sites included site visits, safety audits, management of soil and groundwater investigations, interpretation of sampling and investigation data and development of site models, development of regulatory compliance strategies and negotiations with regulators, evaluation of remedial alternatives, and design of soil and groundwater remediation systems.
