He presents himself as a plumber of the infinite small and opens new perspectives for us on the nano, micro and mega scale. A meeting with one of the most independent minds in French research, the physicist Lydéric Bocquet, or how to move from the theory of ricochets to quantum physics?
Let’s build bridges between our macroscopic world and the nanoscopic world, in the company of one of the most inspiring and inspired minds in French research: the scientist. Lyderic Bocquetprofessor attached to the ENS where he leads the Microméga team. It must be said that Lydéric Bocquet, who describes himself as the “Plumber of the infinite small”, did everything to reveal the mysteries of the speed of the flow of liquids on the nano scale, starting with images and ricochets. How can ricochets in water lead to quantum collisions, to form a link between liquid mechanics and quantum mechanics? How does such basic research open up so many unexplored ways and new applications to tackle environmental and energy challenges?
Along with Lyderic Bocquetresearch director at CNRS and professor at École normale supérieure. He leads the Micromégas group at ENS, which combines experiments, science and modeling explore the intimate mechanics of fluids and their interfacesfrom the macroscopic level to the molecular scales. One of the main areas of his research over the past decade is nanofluidics, the science of molecular flow. Lydéric Bocquet won the CNRS 2024 sports innovation award.
