Denis Bartolo is a professor of physics at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) of Lyon, France. He studied at ESPCI Paris and obtained a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Pierre and Marie Curie University. In 2006 he was appointed assistant professor at Paris Diderot University, and in 2012 he joined ENS of Lyon. His research group combines microfluidic experiments, simulations, and theory to investigate collective phenomena in soft and active matter. Recent examples include flocking motion in disordered media and emergent order in driven suspensions.

Active-Matter Thermodynamics Under Pressure

Experiments show that, unlike an ideal gas, an active-matter system comprised of self-propelled disks does not have a well-defined mechanical pressure. Read More »
