Physics of biological systems
-
We explore two different tracks in the physics of biological systems: an combined experimental and theoretical approach in the quest of new diagnostic tools of cancers thought the correlation between viscoelastic mechanical properties and pathology, and a theoretical study of non-linear synchronizations in organs and tissues.

Fluctuation theorems and thermal noise
-
In out of equilibrium or mesoscopic systems, fluctuations play an important role and provide a unique tool to probe the underlying physics. Our team develops various experiments to measure directly this noise and test statistical physics approaches : fluctuations theorems, nano-mechanics, confined phase transitions…

Statistical physics
-
This theme is historically one of the first research area of the laboratory, and it actually gathers activities being conducted in several groups. It is characterized by frequent and fruitful collaborations between theoreticians and experimentalists within the laboratory.
Statistical physics is devoted to the study of the collective and macroscopic behavior of systems composed of a large number of elementary entities that interact one with the other. One speaks of "complex system" when the dynamics, or the structures that appears within the system, exhibit a rich variety of behaviors, while the microscopic entities the system is made of, and the interactions between these entities, are a priori simple. It may be noticed that the sensitivity to the initial conditions, as well as the large number of possible evolutions, play a major role in the emergence of non-trivial collective behaviors in such systems.
