CNRS Research Director at the Laboratoire Léon Brillouin (CEA-CNRS), Université Paris-Saclay.
The Laboratoire Léon Brillouin is the French Neutron Facility. Neutron scattering is a unique tool to probe condensed matter and to reveal structure and dynamics properties at the molecular scale.
Topics
My research interests mostly lie in experimental mesoscopic physics of fluids:
- Structural studies: Self-organized systems (thermotropic, lyotropic, ionic), polymer melts (usual, mesomorphic, semiconductor), paramagnetic liquids (Van der Waals, hydrogen bonded). Scaling laws.
- Extreme conditions: hydrostatic pressure, confinement (nanotubes), flow near phase transitions, chain conformation under flow, liquid-surface interactions, etc studied using Large Research Facilities.
- Dynamics: Low frequency mechanical behavior: a no man’s land which reveals new mesoscopic liquid properties: shear elasticity. Dynamic (viscoelastic and flow), optical (birefringence), magnetic (liquid crystals, ionic liquids, paramagnetic liquids) and microthermal study of fluids as well as phononic coupling liquid-solid interactions.
- Thermal emissivity: Identifying the thermal response of fluids to mechanical stress.
