Presentation:
The Complex Systems Theory team studies a wide range of systems, from a variety of scientific fields, whose common feature is that they comprise a large number of interacting agents from which non-trivial correlations and collective behaviors emerge.
As P. W. Anderson so aptly put it, the study of complexity requires us to extract from information limited to the microscopic scale the phenomena emerging at meso or macroscopic scales. To achieve this, the team brings together researchers with diverse and complementary skills: field theory, dynamical systems, non-equilibrium statistical physics and hydrodynamic approaches.

Postdoc on the acoustics of membrane materials
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
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
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...
18-month post-doctoral fellowship on pulmonary surfactant
Structure and rheology of pulmonary surfactantResearch The INHALE project, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), seeks to investigate the viability of surfactant replacement therapy in adults afflicted with respiratory disorders. Pulmonary surfactant is...
M2/Thesis 2023-2024 internship proposal
Nuclear mechanics as a diagnostic and therapeutic target for glioblastoma Glioblastomas (GBMs) are the most lethal primary brain tumours. The absence of effective therapies is mainly due to tumour invasion and to the resistance of invading cells to treatments such as...
