Dense granular flows are involved in a variety of situations, from natural avalanches to industrial processes. We are interested in the fundamental question of the scales at which these flows develop, from the grain to the system size. However, granular matter does not flow like ordinary fluids: their rheology is frictional and depend on the…Continue readingMaster 2 internship – At what scale do grains flow?

Outdoor Exercise and Air Quality under Real World Conditions: What can we learn from Wearable Sensors on Runners in Paris? It is easy to measure the number of heart beats per minute. Clearly, this number increases during physical activity with exercise intensity. But how regular is your heart beat during exercise? We have studied the…Continue readingMaster 2 internship – Urban Air Pollution and Exercise: A Physics Approach

Topic: QED fluctuations and fractal objects One of the most striking predictions of quantum physics is the interaction of the electromagnetic vacuum with atoms and macroscopic bodies. Spectacular manifes- tations of this interaction are Casimir forces. Enormous progress in force sensing techniques and the fabrication of nano-structures have highlighted impressively the practical relevance of this…Continue readingPhD position opening 2024
