François Gallaire obtained his engineering degree from the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris in 1998 and a Master's degree in "Physics of Liquids" from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris in 1999. He then joined the Laboratoire d'Hydrodynamique (LadHyX) at the Ecole Polytechnique, where in 2003 he defended a thesis on the instabilities of rotating jets and the control of vortex bursting under the supervision of Jean-Marrc Chomaz. In 2003, he was appointed CNRS research fellow at the J.A. Dieudonné Laboratory at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, before joining the EPFL in 2009 to found the Fluid Mechanics and Instabilities Laboratory (LFMI). His research focuses on the fundamental stability properties of fluid flows and is guided by real-world applications, in particular flow control. Recently, he has made major contributions in the fields of micro-fluidics (analysis of laser manipulation of a drop in a micro-channel) and bio-fluid dynamics (mechanical description of the abdominal aortic aneurysm).

Webinar Elizabeth GUAZELLI

Bodies of revolution in shear flows at low inertia

Elisabeth Guazzelli's research interests are in the field of particulate multiphase flows, such as fluidized beds, suspensions, sedimentation and sediment transport. She has spent her entire career as a CNRS researcher, leading an active and diversified research group at the IUSTI laboratory of the University of Aix-Marseille, and has now moved to the MSC (Matière et Systèmes Complexes) laboratory of the University Paris Cité. She is Rector of the International Center for Mechanical Sciences in Udine (Italy). She has been Associate Editor of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics since 2005 and is currently JFM Rapids Editor. Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the European Mechanics Society (EUROMECH), she is the recipient of the EUROMECH Fluid Mechanics Prize in 2016 and the APS Fluid Dynamics Prize in 2023. She was elected an international member of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti in 2020 and of the US National Academy of Engineering in 2021.
