He is currently a full professor in the Department of Mining Engineering and principal researcher at the Advanced Mining Technology Center at the University of Chile. He is the author of more than 100 publications in scientific journals on the development of new tools, geostatistical models and algorithms and their application to the evaluation of mineral deposits. He has participated in research projects funded by the Chilean Commission for Scientific and Technological Research, by foundations promoting applied research and by mining companies. He also co-organized the eighth International Congress of Geostatistics, held in Santiago de Chile in December 2008. For more than 35 years, Serge Antoine Séguret has been a research engineer in the Centre of Geostatistics founded in 1968 by Georges Matheron (Paris School of Mines, now Mines ParisTech). After obtaining his PhD in Geostatistics and researching in marine geophysics and petroleum reservoir modeling, he focused on mining problems, working with Codelco (Chile), Vale (Brazil), Eramet Sud America (Argentina) and several large companies in Australia.

Serge Séguret is the author of numerous publications and lectures and gives courses at Mines ParisTech, the University of Lorraine and partner companies.
