Accreditation to Supervise Research

After a presentation of his curriculum (academic titles, studies, research and teaching, scientific supervision and animation, specialities), the author presents his main research works which addressed the following topics: phase separation at the vicinity of a critical point in pure fluids or mixtures (phase separation and characteristic length, phase morphology and growth, diffusion as macroscopic engine, another vision of capillary hydrodynamics, role of coalescences, wetting and phase separation at the wall, initiation of phase separation), thermalization of a critical fluid by pressure waves (the piston effect or the compressibility action), mechanisms of condensation and growth on a wall (birth of a family of droplets, condensed droplets on a liquid substrate), micelles of poly-electrolytes (self-organisation of spherical charged brushes), absorbed films as case of self-organisation of plane charged brushes (copolymers perceived as surfactants, adsorption in Gibbs films, interface buckling, suspended films, force microscopy as a future for adsorption), and perspectives (from long to short chains, interface dynamics, material elaboration)
