Background and interest
My research is devoted to the physics of complex fluids like foams, polymergels or colloidal pastes, like that made of calcite and water. I am specifically interested in establishing links between the macroscopic mechanical properties of such fluids and the processes and structure at the microscopic scale. For this, I use experimental tools —rheology, microfluidics, microscopy, multiple-light scattering, fast imaging, etc— combined with modelisation based on scaling analysis and simulations.
Description of research in NanoHeal:
I am involved in the supervision of ESR 13, which studies the rheological properties of calcite paste with organic additives, with the aim to identify microscopic forces at stake between calcium carbonate grains in aqueous medium.
