• Active matter

  Active matter, a new interdisciplinary field of research at the crossroads between physics and life sciences, deals with the collective behaviors of autonomous agents.
  

• Glass transition
  and jamming

  Glass transition and jamming are two complementary aspects of the physics of disordered liquids, whether thermal or athermal.
  

• Liquid crystals
  and topology

  Topological defects on liquid crystal shells are at the roots of our self-assembling materials.
  

• Microfluidics
  for life sciences

  Designing original microfluidic devices offers a unique opportunity to study and handle artificial or biological cells.
