Physics Laboratory

The Physics Laboratory is a joint research unit with the ENS of Lyon and the CNRS as supervisors. Activities of the Physics Laboratory cover various fields, from statistical physics to hydrodynamic turbulence, including also mathematical physics and signal processing but also soft and condensed matter. This multidisciplinary approach is particularly fostered by the strong association with the physics teaching activities at ENS de Lyon.
