Biography
Annie Viallat is engineer of Ecole Polytechnique (Paris, France). She received her PhD in Physics from the University of Grenoble (France) in 1987, working on polymer gels and NMR. After a postdoc on theory of conjugated polymers in the Materials Departments (UC Santa Barbara), she joined the Spectrométrie Physique lab (Grenoble) in 1989, studying polymer gels and heterogeneous polymer solutions. Her research moved to biological physics in 1999. From 2005 to 2015 she led a group in Marseille on the dynamics in microflows of vesicles and blood cells. Since 2016, she is the head of department ‘Physics and Engineering for Living Matter’ in CINaM (Marseille), working on active matter, microcirculation of red blood cells in disease and physics of the mucociliary clearance.
