Jacques Rivière

Jacques Rivière is an Assistant Professor at Pennsylvania State University, focusing on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of acoustics, geophysics, ultrasonics, and machine learning. His work combines experimental and computational approaches to address fundamental and applied problems in these areas.

Research Interests

• Acoustics: nonlinear acoustics, acoustic emission, vibrations
• Geophysics: rock physics, earthquake physics, friction, granular physics
• Ultrasonics: nondestructive evaluation (NDE), structural health monitoring (SHM), material characterization and damage assessment, medical ultrasound
• Machine Learning: applications to ultrasonic/seismic data analysis, physics-informed models

Advising and Collaboration

Prof. Rivière is actively seeking a PhD student to join his research group and encourages motivated undergraduate/graduate students to apply by submitting CVs and expressions of interest.
