Séminaire PMMH - Carine Douarche (LPS, Univ. Paris-Sud)

Vendredi 10 juin 2016 de 11h00 à 12h00 - Bureau d'Etudes

Bacteria self-assemblies lead to hydrodynamic instabilities

The mechanisms of the bacterial motility and chemotaxis are now quite well known at the single cell level ; however the way a whole cell population moves at a macroscopic scale still raises some fundamental questions. The study of the behavior of a population of Escherichia coli in oxygen gradients in the bulk of solutions shows that bacteria are able to adapt their motility and exhibit a collective behavior to self-assemble and form patterns. When subjected to gravity, these patterns become unstable and can be studied as Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. In the same manner, when observing the morphogenesis of Bacillus subtilis floating biofilms, we detect some kinds of bacteria self-assemblies at the liquid-air interface that further undergo a bioconvection process. Thus, the presence of the bacteria in the solution locally modifies the properties of the environment that in turn act on the cells behavior. This interplay between the population of bacteria and the heterogeneities of the environment play an important role in conditioning the biofilm development as well as its structure.

    REPROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE FOR DATA PROCESSING AT THE EDGE : A NEW COMPUTING PARADIGM BASED ON NEUROMORPHIC SYSTEMS
    The brain's ability to perform efficient and fault-tolerant data processing is strongly related with its peculiar interconnected adaptive architecture, based on redundant neural circuits interacting at different scales. By emulating the brain's processing and learning mechanisms, computing technologies strive to (…)

Instructions générales pour les conférenciers

Le public du séminaire est très hétérogène (rien qu’au PMMH nous travaillons sur des thématiques très diverses, mécanique des fluides, des milieux granulaires, des solides, physique statistique, physique du mouillage, micro-fluidique, biophysique,...) l’objectif est donc de ne pas faire un séminaire trop spécialiste : au moins la première moitié du séminaire à un niveau accessible pour celui qui ne connaît rien sur le sujet.

Le séminaire a lieu à 11h. rendez-vous 15 minutes avant pour installer et tester la projection.

Le séminaire dure environ 45 minutes pour laisser un peu de temps pour discuter à la fin.
