DSHE
Presentation:
The Dynamics of Non-Equilibrium Systems (DSHE) team is mainly concerned with experimental systems that are said to be out of equilibrium, i.e. evolving or requiring an injection of energy to be maintained in a stationary state. The team tackles a wide variety of subjects in several fields of macroscopic physics: hydrodynamics, granular media, mechanics of deformable media, soft matter, etc. It is particularly interested in the morphogenesis, self-organization and non-linear dynamics of these out-of-equilibrium systems, while drawing on examples from life, Earth or environmental sciences.

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