MSC RESEARCH PROJECTS
By resorting to Creutz’s demon algorithm, a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) is generated on the iso-energetic phase space surfaces of a binary mixture of interacting particles via Lennard-Jones potentials ; the latter being a glass forming supercooled liquid. Along this MCMC some geometric quantities of topological meaning are computed in search for a signature of the glassy transition. A numerical tool is developed with the aim of being used to perform further investigations. (numerical modeling report)

RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS
By studying active matter models, a better understanding of stationary properties associated to this class of systems will be achieved. Escape and correlations issues will be notably examined in the cases of Active Brownian Particles models and Active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Particles. One will try to understand a dynamical phase transition between weak and strong activity regimes since a few results have been recently highlighted in these two limits. Finaly the weak noise approach will be generalized to an arbitrary noise.

A convective/diffusive interface is studied in spherical Rayleigh-Bénard configuration. Analytical/theoretical predictive tools are then developed to anticipate interface’s positions between layers. The latter being in accordance with numerical simulations provided by the FLUDYCO team.
2 months M.sc. (1st year) research internship under the supervision of Dr.Benjamin Favier, Mathieu Bouffard and Michael Le Bars at IRPHE - FLUDYCO (Marseille).
A theoretical study of the radiative power transported by high-frequency Electromagnetic Waves (impulsion, angular momenta, etc.) conversion into mechanical power (impulsion, torque etc.) and its prerequisites is achieved. Models provided by electrodynamics of continuous media are classified and connected to a mechanical-like formulation of electromagnetism. Theoretical methods used in stationary magneto-mechanical conversion are then rectified and generalized to electro-mechanical conversion out of quasi-stationary regimes.
