A former student of École Normale Supérieure,[2] Thierry Forveille obtained his PhD in physics in 1988 at the Joseph-Fourier University (which later merged into University of Grenoble-Alpes) with a thesis entitled Millimetric observations of circumstellar matter around young stellar objects and advanced stars[3] under the direction of Stéphane Guilloteau. He has been an astronomer in the astronomy group of the Grenoble observatory (now Grenoble Institute of planetology and astrophysics) since 1988. His career is marked by numerous international collaborations.
He became editor-in-chief of the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics in 2012.
His main current research areas are the observational studies of brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets.
