Activities

Research topics

The Waves and Quantum Physics theme covers the propagation of waves in complex media and theoretical physics, as well as the physics of cold atoms and strongly correlated quantum gases.  
The Photonics theme covers the analysis of physical and dynamic phenomena (classical and quantum) in optics, as well as the development of photonic materials, components and systems. 
The Nonlinear Physics, Complex Fluids and Biophysics theme is centered on the theoretical, numerical and experimental analysis of the dynamics of macroscopic systems.
