Biography
I am an experimental physicist working on interfacial flows and dynamics. In particular, I am interested in the stability of soapy objects like foam films, bubbles or foams. This includes flow at interfaces, dynamic interfaces and their mechanical properties, macscopic behaviour of soapy objects.
Interests
- Foams, bubbles and soap films stability
- Surface rheology
- Thin film thinning, drainage and evaporation
Education
- PhD in Hydrodynamics, 2005, Paris 6 University
- Accreditation to direct research (HDR), 2013, Paris Sud University
Professor in Paris Saclay University
Head of the track “Soft Matter and Biophysics” in the ICFP Master 2
Lecture in Complex Fluid and Interfaces in the Master 1 in fundamental physics
Lecture in Interfacial flows in the Master 2 DFE
Teaching about the scientific approach in the first year of physics licence
