Active emulsions : soft matter far from thermal equilibrium

A number of experiments are presented dealing with 'active' emulsions,
i.e., collections of droplets the ingredients of which are not in thermal
equilibrium. As a consequence, they exhibit unusual collective behaviour,
which may resemble dynamic patterns they are sometimes observed in cell
cultures, or swarming as in schools of fish. Our main goal is to find
generalized descriptions of these phenomena, which may allow to predict
collective behaviour far from equilibrium on the basis of some limited
knowledge about the sub-systems and their interactions.

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.
