July 2012: Les Houches summer school on Soft Interfaces

The group's research is at the interface between "soft condensed matter", "hydrodynamics" and "nano-science". It is mostly
curiosity driven. We combine experiments, theory, and molecular simulations to explore the intimate mechanisms of the dynamics
of fluid interfaces from the macroscopic down to the molecular level, with applications in the fields of material science, micro- and
nano- fluidics, large scale hydrodynamics, complex fluids, etc.
