Adrian Daerr

Welcome on my professional web pages. I am professor at the Complex Matter and Systems lab (University and CNRS Research Unit UMR 7057) at the Physics department of the Université Paris Cité .

Note that not all pages are available in English, so do not be surprised if you find yourself on a french page all of a sudden ;-). A language selector is shown at the top when other languages are available.

Research & Teaching

My research focusses on fluid dynamics (in particular wetting, and instabilities) and the dynamics of complex systems (including morphogenesis and active matter). I am an experimental physicist. See the pages on my research activities to learn more about the kind of experiments I am doing and the questions I try to answer, or jump right to the list of publications for the results.

Of course I teach my specialty, hydrodynamics. I do also teach, or have taught in the past, subjects such as experimental research projects, numerical methods for physicists or signal processing where my aim is to convey my practical experience alongside the principles of all the tools that experimentalists should master. You can find out more in the teaching pages, where I also put all the supporting documents for my courses.

• hydrodynamics,
• non linear physics and dynamical systems
• experimental physics research projects
• digital electronics
• numerical methods for physicists
• signal and image processing

Last not least I coach our university’s team of students participating in the French Physicists’ Tournament.
