My name is Benoît Smets. I was born in 1983 in Belgium and still live there. Since 2013, I am married to a lovely girl called Florence and, since 2016, I am the lucky father of a little boy called Tom. If my professional life is focused on volcanoes and related hazards in the East African Rift, my first passion is rock climbing. By extension, I also practice other outdoor sports such as alpinism, hiking, running/trails, and mountain biking.

On the following pages, you will find a description of my research, my scientific curriculum vitae, as well as the references to my publications. I also offer you the possibility to participate to my research.
