LAURENT BACRI
Associate Professor
Physics Department
Together with Loïc Auvray, Laurent Bacri has played a pioneering role in advancing the field of nanopores in France from both a polymer physics and soft matter perspective. Over this period, he has cultivated expertise in understanding the dynamics of confined environments, such as nanopores. This research theme has enabled him to explore and contribute to the comprehension of the physical processes governing the confinement of individual biomolecules or nanoparticles.
His work has a multidisciplinary character, fostering collaborations with various scientific communities, including surface chemistry, microfluidics, nanomaterials physics, and biology, not only in France (such as ENS Paris-Saclay and C2N) but also across Europe (Freiburg, Bremen, Rome) and in the United States (University of Massachusetts). Over the past decade, his research has been predominantly focused on gaining insights into dynamic processes occurring within solid-state nanopores.
