Offer Description

Deformable walls play an important role in many systems of interest, and are abundant in systems of biological importance. To understand the surface properties of gels (wetting or adhesion), long-range deformations must be taken into account. Synovial joints exhibit remarkable lubrication properties; however, the operating mechanisms responsible for this performance, linking charged macromolecules and flexible walls, are not yet well understood. In this sense, new exploratory tools are needed for a precise understanding of the response of deformable walls to external perturbations. We aim to build the theoretical/digital tools needed to streamline this.
