Gulliver seminars take place on Mondays at 11:30 AM in the F304 room, and typically last one hour including questions. The seminars are in English, and the scientific topics are mainly those studied in the laboratory.

    Emulsions as a tool to study tissue mechanics
    Emulsions, i.e. packings of oil droplets in water, are a great tool to explore the structure of jammed matter. Indeed, contrary to classical granular systems, emulsions can be made transparent, allowing to image their 3D structure through classical microscopy techniques. It is then possible to study (...)

    Many species dynamics in space
    Natural ecosystems often harbor individuals of many species, spread out in space. We describe two very different dynamical behaviors ("phases") that can be found in such systems, depending on the interactions between the species. In one phase, population sizes undergone huge fluctuations, spanning many orders of (...)

    Correlations of stress fluctuations in glass-forming liquids
    Many fluids do not crystallize upon cooling, but form amorphous, glassy, solids at low temperature. As liquids, amorphous solids are on average isotropic so that static pair-correlation functions do not allow to distinguish between fluid and solid states. However, a distinction is possible under weak shear (...)

General recommendations for the speakers

The audience is often heterogeneous - because of the wide range of scientific topics covered in the lab - so planning a talk for a broader audience would be preferred. The seminar is in English, and speakers are thus invited to prepare their slides in English.

The seminar starts at 11:30 AM. The speaker is asked to arrive in the lab at least 15 minutes in advance to set up their computer. The talks last typically 45 minutes, and are followed by a discussion time.
