Metainterfaces : how to design a rough contact that obeys a specific friction law ?
Many devices, including touchscreens and robotic hands, involve frictional contacts. Optimizing those devices requires fine control of the interface's friction law. We lack systematic methods to create dry contact interfaces whose frictional behaviour satisfies preset specifications. In this seminar, I will present a generic surface design strategy to prepare dry rough interfaces that have predefined relationships between normal and friction forces [1]. Such metainterfaces circumvent the usual multiscale challenge of tribology [2], by considering simplified surface topographies as assemblies of spherical asperities. Optimizing the individual asperities' heights enables specific friction laws to be targeted. Through various centimeter-scaled elastomer-glass metainterfaces, I will illustrate three types of achievable friction laws, including linear laws with a specified friction coefficient and unusual non-linear laws. This design strategy represents a scale- and material-independent, chemical-free pathway toward energy-saving and adaptable smart interfaces.

Energy Transition and Earth System Dynamics : Quantifying Long-Term Sustainability Trajectories for Human Societies
This talk explores how current industrial technologies - linear, extractive, and ecologically disruptive - must be replaced by systems designed in harmony with the Earth's living metabolism. Framing the planet as a dynamic, interdependent system rather than a passive resource pool leads to a fundamental rethinking (…) -

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
