DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lydéric Bocquet\, CNRS\, ENS Paris\nAbstract:\nIt is an
  exciting period for nanofluidics\, the field exploring the transport of f
 luids at the nanoscales. Routes now exist to fabricate individual channels
  with nanometric and even sub-nanometric dimensions\, while new instrument
 s have also been invented to probe transport across these channels. And in
 deed\, a number of quite exotic properties for water and ion transport hav
 e emerged since. This presentation will highlight several such phenomena.\
 n \nBio:\nLydéric Bocquet is director of research at CNRS and joint prof
 essor at the physics department of ENS Paris. He received his Ph.D. in the
 oretical physics in Lyon in 1994. His research interests extend to domains
  at the interface of soft condensed matter\, fluid dynamics and nanoscienc
 e. He combines experiments\, theory and simulations to explore the intimat
 e mechanisms of fluid interfaces from the macroscopic down to the molecula
 r level. His recent interests aimed at taking benefit of the unexpected fl
 uid transport behavior occurring at the nanoscales to propose new routes f
 or energy harvesting and desalination. Beyond academically oriented topics
 \, he also has a strong interest in every-day life science. He obtained se
 veral awards\, including two advanced grants of the ERC in 2010 and 2018. 
 He is cofounder of the startup Sweetch Energy.
