Our team investigate the physics of liquids and complex liquids but also of active systems that give rise to emergent properties.
DROPLET FORMATION
DROPLET FORMATION
We look at the formation of droplets in different fluids.
COMPLEX FLUIDS
COMPLEX FLUIDS
We put the rheology of emulsion and polymer solutions into test in various situations.
FOOD PHYSICS
FOOD PHYSICS
We investigate the mechanical properties of food/care products and their relationship to sensory perception.
ACTIVE MATTER
ACTIVE MATTER
Emergent behavior of collection of active point-like particles and active chains.

Jan 2026 - The new year starts with a NEW PAPER!
Rosa's 2nd paper (and Prathyusha's) paper on the particle sweeping and collection by active filaments is now out in PRX and has made the highlight of the journal!
It's been a very nice and exciting colloboration with the groups of Saad Bhamla in GT USA, and Pierre Illien at Sorbonne Univesité in Paris.
Find it here: https://doi.org/10.1103/yxp1-t43g
and associated press release in Physics, wrote by Emanuele Locatelli: Worm-Inspired Active Filaments Sweep Disorder into Order.
April 2025 - NEW PAPER!
Rosa's paper on the dynamics and conformation of living polymerlike worms in crowded environments is now out and make the Editor 's suggestion of PRL!
