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