​Víctor Vilarrasa is a tenured scientist at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). He did his PhD in Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) on coupled processes induced by geologic carbon storage, which received the Special Doctoral Award. He has postdoctoral experience at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where he was awarded with the competitive EPFL Fellows Fellowship co-funded by Marie Curie. He was honoured with the MIT Technology Review Award to Innovators Under 35 for the proposal of injecting CO₂ in liquid state as an energetically efficient and geomechanically stable injection concept for CO₂ storage. In recognition to his scientific trajectory, he has received the Alfons Bayó Award to Young Researchers from the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), the Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and the Chin-Fu Tsang Coupled Processes Award by the International Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM). Since 2020, he is Member of the Young Academy of Spain. Currently, he is beneficiary of the prestigious Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC-StG grant) to investigate induced seismicity.
