Thomas Salez is a CNRS research associate in the Aquitaine Waves and Matter Laboratory (LOMA) at University of Bordeaux, France, as well as an invited faculty member of the Faculty of Advanced Life Science, at Hokkaido University, Japan.
He obtained is PhD from ENS Paris, where he developed an experiment in the Kastler Brossel Laboratory to trap and cool down atomic Fermi mixtures and molecules near the absolute-zero temperature, in ultra-high vacuum. He then joined the Gulliver Laboratory at ESPCI Paris, where he studied theoretically the behaviour of soft matter and fluids at the nanoscale, in close connexion with experiments.
Within the EMetBrown group that he then created and chairs at LOMA in Bordeaux, and in collaboration with a broad and interdisciplinary international network, he now investigates theoretically and experimentally the properties of amorphous condensed matter and complex systems in confinement and at interfaces, at the boundary between continuum mechanics and statistical physics.
Besides, Thomas Salez is an associate editor at The European Physical Journal E. He belongs to the Soft Matter Collaborative Research Unit, at Hokkaido University in Japan. He also teaches graduate courses on soft matter at University of Bordeaux and on statistical physics at Institut d’Optique Graduate School, as well as lab courses therein. Finally, he cofounded the MesoMat deep-tech startup company in Canada that aims at producing novel self-assembled mesoscopic materials and smart components for soft robotics and evolutive aeronautics.
