Liquids and Interfaces

The red line of our research is the influence  of interfaces on the dynamics of liquids and soft matter. Our research covers the dynamics of these materials over a wide range of scale, from nanometric to macroscopic, as well as the coupling mechanisms between those various levels (micro to macro approach). We rely on tools developed for microfluidics, coupled to optical measurement (confocal microscopy, FRAP, micro-PIV, FCS, etc.) or electrokinetic approaches (patch-clamp, Coulter counter, etc.), as well as macroscopic techniques (high-speed camera).
