Abstract Feeling the warmth of the sun's rays on your skin. Following a flock of birds in the distance. While our senses enable us to apprehend the world around us and act accordingly, they also introduce biases into our understanding of biodiversity and …

Abstract The concept of entropy is fundamental to physics and theoretical computer science. Recent advances have shown that it plays a very important role in many other scientific fields. In this talk, Giulio Biroli presents the multidisciplinary and …

Abstract Typical sets and the asymptotic equipartition theorem are extended to the case of independent variables with continuous values. The properties of conditional entropy and Kullback-Liebler divergence are studied, as well as mutual information and …

Abstract Hydrodynamics at the solid interface is a fundamental property of fluids, as important as their constitutive equation, in determining their flow. Historically, experimental evidence has been decisive in identifying the hydrodynamic boundary …

Over the last ten years or so, nanofluidics has taken an enormous leap forward. It is now possible to fabricate and study nano-channels as small as a few nanometers, or even a few angstroms. Advances in measurement techniques now make it possible to …

Abstract In this joint work with Nicolas Forcadel (U. Rouen), we rigorously derive a macroscopic traffic flow model with a bifurcation or a local perturbation from a microscopic one. The microscopic model is a simple follow-the-leader with random …
