Welcome!
Welcome to the homepage of the research group Physique et Mécanique de la Matière Molle (viz. Physics and Mechanics of Soft Matter).
The group is interested in various aspects of growth, shapes and dynamics in physics, biophysics, mechanics and biomechanics. Topics in fluids: viscous fingering, wetting, dynamics of moving contact line. Topics in biophysics: biological membranes, rafts, inclusions. Topics in mechanics: crumpled paper, exact elasticity, soft tissues Topics in biomechanics: growth and elasticity, morphogenesis
Summer school
In summer 2009 we have coorganized a summer school on new trends in the physics and mechanics of biological systems in Les Houches near Chamonix. For more information see the website of the school.

Welcome!
