MORE ABOUT THE INTERVIEWEE :

Olivier Dauchot is a Belgian-born physicist, who graduated from the Ponts et Chaussées engineering school before doing a PhD in physics at Université Pierre et Marie Curie.
He started doing research at the Saclay center of CEA, where he worked on dynamical systems, turbulence, and granular materials.
Since 2011, he is a CNRS researcher (Directeur de Recherche) and works at the Gulliver lab, at ESPCI, where he started experiments on non-living active matter like the walking grains.
There, he led the Collective Effects in Soft Matter (EC2M) team, an interdisciplinary team that worked on topics ranging from liquid crystals in confined geometries, to producing synthetic platelets, or avalanches of micrometric particles.
At the meeting point of experiments and theory, Olivier Dauchot (now head of the Gulliver lab) currently works on the solid phases of active matter, the glass transition of liquids, and the rheology of granulars.

MORE ABOUT THE INTERVIEWEE :

Laura Magro is an alumnus of ESPCI Paris, and of Université Paris Diderot, where she obtained a master's degree in Complex Systems, with a major in Microfluidics. In 2016, she defended her thesis, titled "Paper microfluidics : from liquid flow studies to Ebola virus diagnostics in Guinea", that was conducted in the Microfluidics, MEMs and Nanostructures team of the Gulliver lab, at ESPCI Paris. She joined CEEBIOS in 2017, a company that promotes the development of biomimetic technologies applied to eco-responsible innovation. She has been the company's deputy director in charge of scientific development since 2018.

MORE ABOUT THE INTERVIEWEE:

Marine Bézagu is an alumnus of ESPCI Paris, and of Université Pierre et Marie Curie, where she obtained a master's degree in Molecular Chemistry. In 2015, she defended her PhD thesis, titled "Ultrasound-induced chemical reactions and local mixing : towards targeted chemotherapy", that was conducted between the Laboratoire de Chimie Organique, the Gulliver lab and the Institut Langevin at ESPCI Paris. She kept working on this project as a post-doctoral researcher at Institut Langevin for an extra year.
Between 2016 and 2020, she worked as a research scientist in chemical formulation for ADOCIA, a company specialized in developing innovative formulations for therapeutical molecules. She recently moved to a Research & Development Project Manager position at InnovaFeed, a young biotech company that commercializes insect proteins.

MORE ABOUT THE INTERVIEWEE :

Kari Dalnoki-Veress has been a Professor at McMaster University, Ontario, since 2010. There, he leads the Dalnoki-Veress Lab, a research group that studies experimental soft matter, and in particular the properties of polymers and living systems.
The topics he has worked on range from the mechanical properties of nematods like C. Elegans, to the glass transition of polymers, but also include elastocapillarity in fibers and films of polymers.

ERRATA:

A group of agitated molecules in a disordered state is the definition of a fluid phase, meaning that it applies both to liquids and gases. A more precise definition of liquids would be the following: a dense group of agitated molecules in a disordered state, where the intermolecular distance is of the same order of magnitude as the molecular size.

Carlo Marangoni is not actually the first to study the so-called "Marangoni flows". James Thomson explained correctly these flows for the first time in 1855, and some works could even date back to 1686. Source: L. E. Scriven & C.V.
