⮞ Welcome

Welcome to my professional Web page. My name is Thomas Gibaud. I'm a CNRS researcher. I specialize in the field of experimental soft matter physics. My work involves the utilization, purification, and engineering of organic and living materials to craft colloids. These colloids act as building blocks for assembling soft materials with precisely tailored dynamics, structures and mechanics investigated using microscopy, scattering and rheology. I'm particularly interested in how these materials can morph in response to external stimuli. The research I pursue not only serve as a venue for exploring self-assembly, gels, and active matter but also to mimic phenomena found in biology or hard condensed matter. Selected publications on "Out of equilibrium soft matter": Shape rigid filaments make glasses [PNAS (2023)] Rheo-acoustic gels: High power ultrasound to soften and ease the flow of colloidal gels [PRX (2020)] Traveling bands as an instability mechanism in shear thickening [PRX (2018)] A new class of yielding mechanism in gels: fatigue and delayed yielding [Soft Matter (2010)] Arrested phase separation as a new pathway for gelation in protein dispersions [PRL (2007)] Selected publications on "Self-assembly": Chiral coalescence [PNAS (2017) and Nat. Commun. (2014)] New wrinkling mechanism in gels [Science Advances (2015)] Self-assembly of colloidal rods into: colloid membranes, twisted ribbons, and rafts [Nature (2012) and Nature (2014)] Selected scientific activities: Co-organization of Workshops and Conferences: SAXS et SANS en 2023 et au-delà, JMC 2022, CFCL 2017 Member of the bureau Division de la Matière Condensée at the SFP (2018-2024) I regularly teach at the Département de physique of the Ens de Lyon (~48/year, [2012-present])

⮞ Portfolio

⮞ Soft Matter at the ENS de Lyon
The Laboratoire de Physique at the Ens de Lyon covers many field in physics. Alongside Eric Freyssingeas, Thibaut Divoux and Sébastien Manneville, we usually hold informal Soft Matter group meetings on Monday afternoons.
Over the years, we have acquired numerous resources dedicated to experimental soft matter. Presently, the ENS de Lyon is equipped with rheometers (stress and strain-controlled), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and static light scattering (SLS), ultra-small-angle light scattering, laboratory small-angle X-ray scattering (lab SAXS), microscopy, and confocal microscopy. Most of the equipment is thermally controlled to facilitate temperature quenches. Additionally, there are experimental setups dedicated to coupled measurements, such as rheo-elect, rheo-confocal, rheo-echography, or microscopy coupled to UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. We also regularly use large instruments for scattering experiments (Soleil, ESRF or ILL).
