November 2025 – Welcome Yacine and Wiliam!
- Yacine El Ghazi is starting his PhD on Light transport in optical fibers and reciprocity breaking
- Wiliam da Silva Oliveira is a postdoc from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) working with one of our collaborators there, Felipe Pinheiro. He will stay with us until the end of January 2026.
– topodis – Topology and Disorder in Wave Physics – 16-22 Nov 2025 Cargèse (France)
The objective of this workshop is to bring together experts in the field of wave propagation in topologically non-trivial and/or disordered materials. It will provide an opportunity for physicists exploring the topological aspects of wave physics or the role of disorder correlations in various systems, ranging from solid-state electronics to cold atoms, optics, and acoustics, to exchange ideas.
