Latest News

• September 4, 2025: I am pleased to announce that my proposal EMBIOMO has been awarded a Starting Grant by the European Research Council for the period 2026–2030. We will develop experimental and theoretical models to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of embolism in plant leaves

• We are organizing the fourth edition of the international conference “Fluids and Complexity”, in December 3-5, 2025 in Nice, together with Baptiste Blanc (Univ. Côte d’Azur), Rudy Valette and Romain Castellani (Mines Paris PSL). Find more details on the website, abstract submissions are still open.

• Together with Céline Cohen and Philippe Thomen, we have organized the plenary days of the GDR Microfluidics and Nanofluidics. This 2-day conference was held in Nice (Hôtel Le Saint-Paul) on November 18-19, 2024. We had 100 participants, from more than 20 labs in France, see the conference website!
