LPS

Local Probes and Sources

Leader: Stéphane Veesler

Introduction

How does the local inform and condition the global: what role does localisation play in physical, chemical, biological or even societal mechanisms? How does its study contribute to a deeper fundamental understanding and to applications on a macroscopic scale?

This is the question we address in our various subjects: We aim at mastering phenomena with a deliberately punctual, localized or confined approach in space and time. We focus on individual nano-objects, or their assemblies, which we study by experimental approaches, and if possible, modelled.

The LPS department is structured in 2 themes: Fields at Nanoscale and Localized Phenomena and Microfluidic.

The department is not organised into teams, but into themes and projects (a more open concept: grouping of researchers on themes of common or complementary interest or expertise).

Some projects are active (in progress) and others are of a know-how nature (on standby, identified by an *).
Apart from the 2 themes of the department, there are projects in incubation, either that were on standby and are restarting: Characterisation of Membrane Proteins or are completely new: Urban Physics
