Andrea Cairoli (Crick Institute)
Cells are the building blocks of living systems and undoubtedly fascinating entities. They move autonomously, interact among themselves and with the microenvironment, react to external perturbations, and...
Ruben Portugues (MPI TUM)
Animals navigate within their environment. To do so effectively, they may use sensory cues and/or persistent internal representations that can encode their position in space. In this talk, I will present some...
Alexis Poncet (ENS Lyon)
The theoretical description of the structure and dynamics of matter far from thermal equilibrium is at the heart of modern statistical physics. In this seminar, I will focus on two prototypical exemples of...
Marco Ribezzi (ESPCI Paris)
Statistical mechanics allows us to explain or predict how macroscopic, deterministic laws arise out of molecular chaos and has found applications in areas where emergent behaviors stem from the interaction of large...
Claude Loverdo
Microbes which live in hosts grow from small numbers to very large population sizes, and interact physically with their environment. Here is a summary of my biophysical modeling work, which uses a mix of analytical...
François Petrelis (LPENS
Earthquakes in nature follow several statistical properties. In particular, the distribution of energy released by an earthquake (Gutenberg-Richter's law) and the frequency of aftershocks after a large event (Omori's...
Ram Adar (Collège de France & Institut Curie)
We formulate an active-gel theory for multicellular migration in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The cells are modeled as an active, polar solvent, and the ECM as a viscoelastic solid. Our theory enables to analyze...
