Union in the focus group 'Mineral and Rock Physics'.<ref name="American Geophysical Union". The same year he was elected at Institut Universitaire de France as a senior member. He is the current president (2018–2020) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). He has also served as the first vice-president (2016–2018) of the IMA, and the vice-president (2004–2007) and president (2008–2009) of the French Mineralogical Society (Société Française de Minéralogie et Cristallographie). He has twice received ERC-Adv grants, for the projects RheoMan (2011–2017) and TimeMan (2018–2022). Bibliography 2008: P. Cordier, Ce que disent les minéraux, (Ed. Belin) 2010: P.
