M2 Internship 2027: How deformable is a red blood cell? Molecular rotors to probe cell mechanics in health and disease

Oct 18, 2026 | DSHE, Internships, MSC, News, PhD students / Post-docs

Description To flow through the smallest capillaries, red blood cells must be highly deformable. In pathologies such as sickle cell anemia and spherocytosis, this ability is altered. Cell deformability is therefore a relevant parameter to diagnose and monitor these...

Molecular Rotors: From Newtonian Fluids to Functional Materials as Viscosity and Temperature Sensing Tools

Sep 29, 2026 | DSHE, MSC, News

Molecular rotors (MRs) are fluorescent molecules whose photophysical properties depend on their environment, making them valuable viscosity nanosensors. Interpreting their response in complex systems is challenging, however, since viscosity alone cannot describe such...

Internship/PhD on Hydrogels for adsorption of toxic metals

Feb 20, 2025 | DOMM, Internships, MSC, PhD students / Post-docs

Proposal for master internship/PhD Hydrogels and composites with optimal efficiency and minimal environmental impact for adsorption of toxic metals   The increasing demand for water due to technology and industrial activity has led to the use of hydrogels to treat...

Postdoc on the acoustics of membrane materials

Feb 4, 2025 | MSC

As part of the Membranes project, the MSC laboratory is carrying out experimental research into the acoustic properties of membrane media, i.e. media whose internal structure contains thin layers of materials that can provide an original elastic response [1]. Examples...

Postdoc on heterogenous cavitation

Feb 4, 2025 | MSC

We are looking for a post-doc to join our research team and perform experiment on heterogeneous cavitation to explore the origin of cavitation nuclei. The apparition of macroscopic bubbles inside a liquid either by boiling when temperature increases, from cavitation...

Bubble entrapment by drop impact

Sep 24, 2024 | DOMM, MSC, Research

Only under certain conditions does a drop falling onto a bath entrap an air bubble. We propose a phenomenological law that describes these bubbling conditions in terms of Froude, Weber, and capillary numbers. Figure. Superimposed images of a drop and the cavity it...
