Harazi, Maxime, Gary P. Scavone, McGill University Canada, 1. develop Finite Element model of a particular saxophone mouthpiece (this may include using a coordinate measuring machine and or silicone molds to get accurate geometrical data), 2. make input impedance or reflection function measurements from the back side of the mouthpiece to validate the model, 3. then continue to explore the influence of typical geometry variations (or get more geometry data from various other saxophone and/or clarinet mouthpieces), 4. potentially explore how to measure

Maimbourg, Thibaud, Michael Shats, Physics of Fluids Laboratory à Canberra Australie, Surface wave characterization using diffusive light fast imaging technique - we plan to extend an idea of diffusive light photography to studies of the wave dynamics using fast video camera. The instantaneous height of the entire surface of a fluid executing high amplitude motion can be obtained by photographing light that has been forced to diffuse through the liquid. Higher order correlations and various models of turbulence can be probed with this method.

Michel, Florent, Betti Hartmann, Brème Jacobs University, Test particle motion in cosmic string space-times. We are trying to understand how test particles move in diverse cosmic string space-times. We are especially interested in the formation of accretion discs in space-times with cosmic strings. Here analytic work is possible, but probably also some numerical stuff can be done.

Piccardo, Marco, Antoine Chateauminois, ESPCI Paris, L’étude des propriétés de locomotion remarquables de lézards (Gecko...) ou d’insectes sur des substrats de natures très diverses a conduit ces dernières années au développement de surfaces adhésives biomimétiques. Celles-ci reproduisent les structures fibrillaires observées à l’extrémité des pattes de ces organismes et à l’origine de leurs propriétés d’adhésion. Si l’adhésion de ces surfaces micro-structurées est maintenant relativement bien comprise et modélisée, il n’en va de même de leurs propriétés de frottement qui conditionnent pourtant leur utilisation dans de nombreux domaines tels que la robotique. L’objectif de ce projet est d’étudier les propriétés de frottement de surfaces biomimétiques d’élastomères structurées par des réseaux de piliers.
Reigue, Antoine, Eric Leru, Wellington Nouvelle Zélande, The aim of this project is to apply a novel experimental method recently developed in our research group (a manuscript describing it is under preparation), which permits a direct measurement of resonant Raman scattering spectra of fluorophores, even in the presence of a large fluorescence background. The aim will be to carry out the measurement at a number of excitation wavelengths to determine the resonant Raman excitation profile of several Raman peaks of a given dye. The project will initially focus on the Nile Blue dye dissolved in either water and ethanol (the fluorescence properties are very solvent-dependent for this dye).
