From perception to action without nerves and muscles: lessons from plants

As sessile organisms, plants face a constantly changing environment with no means of escape. Thus, despite their lack of nerves and muscles, they have evolved unique mechanisms to perceive and respond to external...

Three-dimensional “cellular ballons” or cysts: microfluidic formation, growth, deformability, instabilities.

Organoids are lumen-containing multicellular structures that recapitulate key features of the organs. We will first present a microfluidic technology that allows to produce them at high throughput in individual...

Shedding light on micro-algae: phototaxis-induced collective phenomena

Motile micro-algae modify their environment by absorbing light, consuming and releasing chemical compounds and generating flows. Flows, light, and chemicals in turn influence their motion. These complex interactions...

Programmable self-assembly of nanotubes using DNA origami colloids

Nature is replete with self-assembled materials that have one or more self-limited dimensions, including shells, tubules, and fibers. Despite significant advances in making nanometer- and micrometer-scale subunits,...

Mechanics and polarity in B cells

B cells serve as the primary producers of antibodies within the immune system. To elicit an effective immune response, they must recognize and internalize antigens through a specialized signaling platform known as...

Oriented flows in biological tissues

I will talk about two project involving oriented tissue flows. 1) Most animals display one or more body axes (e.g. head-to-tail, left-right, ventral-dorsal), which usually emerge during early embryogenesis. In our...

Exploring Adaptive Collective Systems with Swarms of Learning Robots

I will give a brief overview of the research we are conducting on using robot swarms to study adaptive collective systems in the physical world. I will focus on (1) robot swarm to study physical interactions between...
