She earned a Master of Science in oil and rock mechanics (2006) and a Ph.D. in geomechanics (2009) at Ecole des Ponts Paris Tech (France). After being a faculty at Texas A&M University, she joined Georgia Tech in 2012. She teaches Mechanics of Materials, Finite Element Methods and Tunneling. Dr. Arson is a theoretical and numerical expert in damage and healing rock mechanics, thermo-chemo-poromechanics, underground storage and bio-inspired subsurface networks. She regularly gives lectures in Europe and the U.S., organizes sponsored research workshops, and serves as a reviewer for more than 30 journals. At Georgia Tech, she leads the Rock Mechanics and Geostorage Simulation undergraduate laboratory, and is supported to study ethics and hydraulic fracturing. Dr. Arson received two PhD research prizes in 2010 and the NSF CAREER award in 2016.
