Research Topics
Hydrodynamics and Turbulence
Our team has a strong expertise on several aspects of hydrodynamics and turbulence, mixing theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches. We are focusing on internal waves and rotating fluid, acoustic spectroscopy of turbulence, particle (...) Read more
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 (...) Read more
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, (...) Read more
Statistical physics and non-linear modeling
Our team tackles theoretically several subjects where non-linearities trigger unusual properties in statistical physics: systems with long range interactions, geophysical turbulent flows, climate dynamics… Read more
Home Made Instrumentation
Our team has a strong tradition in developing new instrumentations. Cutting-edge instruments are developed in collaboration with our workshops and cover a broad range of subject including optical tweezers, instrumented particles, plasmon microscopy, (...) Read more
Quantum Physics
Our team uses quantum devices and matter to engineer and demonstrate various non-classical physical phenomena using superconducting and superfluid matter. Read more
