Post-doc in microencapsulation by droplet interface crossing
Laboratoire Charles Coulomb – CNRS/University of Montpellier – France
We are seeking for a post-doctoral candidate to handle an ANR funded project on microencapsulation. The encapsulation process is based on the generation of calibrated aqueous drops and their coating by crossing of a liquid-liquid interface by centrifugation. The objective is to produce monodispersed capsules of controlled size, content and shell thickness. This project is based on the cDICE process (Continuous Droplet Interface Crossing Encapsulation, Patent EP2456550 A1, July 2010) patented by Laboratoire Charles Coulomb. The final goal of the project is to build a prototype that meets industrial requirements in           terms of capsule size (around 100 microns), shell thickness and production rate.
The candidate will be in charge of two fundamental aspects of the process: i) Understanding of the passage of single drops through an interface by high-speed imaging on a dedicated experimental set-up with the centrifugal forces required to produce capsules with diameters ranging from 90 to 200 microns. This work will complete previous experimental and numerical results; (ii) design and test several chemical systems for the in-situ solidification of capsule shells either by phase transition or by polymerization and quantifying the capsules characteristics resulting from the system and the selected hydrodynamic parameters.
Candidates should have a doctorate in physics, physico-chemistry, mechanics or process engineering Skills in microfluidics, image analysis, and a good knowledge in the field of encapsulation will be much appreciated. Spoken and written English is required as well as fluency in report or publication writing.
The post-doctoral fellow will be part of the Soft Matter (https://coulomb.umontpellier.fr/-Equipe-Matiere-Molle-?lang=en) team at the Charles Coulomb Laboratory (L2C) at the University of Montpellier. He will work under the supervision of Gladys Massiera, as well as with Martin In in the EPIC project on a microencapsulation process. This project is part of a collaboration with two process engineering laboratories, the Chemical Engineering Laboratory (LGC) in Toulouse and the GEPEA (Nantes – Saint Nazaire).

Wave propagattion in Complex and Microstructured Media

Wave Propagation in Complex and Microstructured Media
Propagation d’ondes en milieux complexes et micro-structurés

August 20th30th, 2019

The objective of this school is to present recent advances in the field of wave propagation in complex media, with particular focuses on effective dynamics of micro-structured media and homogenization, and on guided waves. The main objective of the school is the pooling of knowledge in these domains so that participants can learn the formalisms – techniques – methods – tools from the different communities of wave physics (mechanical and acoustical waves, electromagnetism) and applied mathematics, and thus, enlarge their knowledge for their own research. The interdisciplinary nature of this school should generate exchanges and collaborations between the different communities involved in this subject.

Main topics will include
Dynamical homogenization, Waveguides, Metamaterials

Lecturers include
Habib Ammari (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) ✦ Yves Aurégan (LAUM, Le Mans, France) ✦ Claude Boutin (ENTPE, Lyon, France) ✦ Edward J. Brambley (Univ. Warwick, UK) ✦ Michele Brun (Univ.

Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce the organization of the first edition of Graphyz, a new workshop on graphics and physics which will be held in Grenoble, France, on 24 and 25 October 2019 (2 half-days). The idea of this workshop is to gather physicists and computer scientists working on various topics that are of interest to both the physics/mechanics and graphics communities. For this first session, we have a wonderful program, gathering duets of scientists (one expert from physics/mechanics, one expert from physically-based simulation for graphics) working on common research topics such as, for instance, the modeling of slender elastic and viscous structures, granular media, snow avalanches, or inflatable structures. A number of discussions slots are also planned to favor interactions among the participants.

If you are interested in better understanding the emerging connections between simulation in graphics and physics/mechanics, do not hesitate to register and attend this workshop! Further information is available online: https://project.inria.fr/graphyz/

Registration is free (including participation to lunches and dinner), but the number of participants is limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis. If you are interested, register early.

Do not hesitate to forward this announcement to your students and colleagues.

Best regards,

Florence & Basile

postdoc shape changing materials (Cambridge) – date limite 24 juin

The Theory of Condensed Matter of the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant/Associate to work with Prof. Mark Warner and Dr. John Biggins (Engineering) on shape changing materials applied to micro actuation and robotics, haptics, microfluidics and related systems.

The materials are typically complex, soft, responsive solids. A new mechanics paradigm patterns the response of liquid crystalline solids to change the effective metric, and hence intrinsic curvature, and also to change the extrinsic bend. Complete shape control is aimed for by the additional determination of extrinsic response.

The candidate should have familiarity with theoretical mechanics and (ideally) differential geometry, and with novel material for mechanics, for example liquid crystalline solids, hydrogels, and photo-thermally responsive solids. Some scientific computing experience is highly desirable.
