Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the Mini-colloquium on Surface tension, soft solids and fluid-structure interactions that we are organising at the ‘Journées de la Matière Condensée’ (JMC), which will take place in Marseille on October 28-31, 2024. The event is organized by the Division of Condensed Matter Physics of the French Physics Society (SFP) and the mini-colloquium is supported by the French Association of Mechanics (AFM).
The session will focus on recent progress in understanding multiphase systems involving an interplay between capillarity and elasticity (see attached poster for more details). It will open with an invited talk by Anaïs Gauthier (Institut de Physique de Rennes) followed by a series of contributed talks (format to be determined : 12/15-minute presentation + 3-minute for questions).
Researchers from physics, mechanics, and related disciplines with an interest in capillarity and elastocapillary systems are welcome to join. In particular, young researchers (PhD students and postdocs) are strongly encouraged to apply.
To submit your abstract, please go to the conference website (https://jmc2024.sciencesconf.org/) and select the mini-colloquium ‘SMMP5 : Surface tension, soft solids and fluid-structure interactions’ as the sorting category. The submission deadline is June 14, 2024.
We would be grateful if you could forward this email within your group and to all colleagues who could be potentially interested. We look forward to seeing you in Marseille this fall.
Best wishes,
Ambre Bouillant, Lucie Domino, Alexis Duchesne and Camille Duprat
