  • Séminaire PMMH Jean Cappello (ULB, Bruxelles)
    Vendredi 17 mars de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
    Bioinspired shape shifting of liquid-infused ribbed sheets
    At small scales, capillary forces can deform flexible structures. The aggregation of wet hair into bundles is a daily example. With the miniaturization of technologies, these capillary forces have become important in engineering since they can lead to the catastrophic collapse of structures obtained by lithography (...)

  • Séminaire PMMH - Patrice Meunier (IRPHE)
    Vendredi 10 mars de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
    Geoinspired bioreactors : from Earth's precession to stem cell production
    Inspired by the precession of the Earth, a new bladeless mixer has been designed, which consists of a tilted and rotating cylinder. I will first present fundamental studies on the transition to turbulence in such rotating flows. At specific aspect ratios, the resonance of eigen modes creates a strong overturning (...)

  • Séminaire PMMH - Agnese Seminara, University of Genoa
    Vendredi 17 février de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
    A fish with legs and alternation strategies for navigating turbulence
    Sea robins are fishes with sensory appendages (“legs”) that they use to walk and to dig live prey from within the substrate. Their preadation strategy is so effective that they are often followed by other fish trying to steal their prey. I will discuss a set of behavioral experiments suggesting that these animals (...)
  • SEMINAIRE SIMM / PMMH - Cari Dutcher (University of Minnesota)
    Mardi 14 février de 14h00 à 15h00 - Charpak
  • Séminaire PMMH - André Estevez-Torres et Guillaume Sarfati - Laboratoire Jean Perrin, SU et CNRS, Paris
    Vendredi 10 février de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
    La recherche face à l'anthropocène : retour d'expérience du bilan carbone du laboratoire Jean Perrin
    Les années se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas. Les records de température, été comme hiver, ne cessent d'être battus et les conséquences sur les écosystèmes et le vivant sont de plus en plus constatées, qualitativement par tout un chacun, et quantitativement par une science compilée dans les rapports successifs du GIEC et (...)
  • Séminaire PMMH - Pascal Hersen (Institut Curie)
    Vendredi 3 février de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
    Playing with cellular functions and genetic circuits in real time
    Gene expression plays a central role in the orchestration of cellular processes. In the past years, we have developed several methods to dynamically perturb, manipulate and control genetic circuit and cellular functions in yeast and bacteria using microfluidics and optogenetics. We developed an experimental method (...)
  • Séminaire PMMH - Valentin LAPLAUD (Ladhyx Polytechnique)
    Vendredi 20 janvier de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
    Growth and mechanics of 'plants on a chip'
    Plant growth is a complex process depending in part on the hydraulics and mechanics of the plant cell, that has been modeled by Lockhart (1965) and Ortega (1985) using a description still used today. To study it experimentally at the cell and organism level we developed a microfluidic system to follow several (...)
Information for the speakers

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
