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, interrupted by a 2000-2006 stay at the Canada France Hawaii Telescope. 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.
