His research focuses on soft condensed matter, hydrodynamics and nanosciences, with experimental, theoretical and numerical techniques. Witten, Professor, University of Chicago,Leticia F. He has received many international prizes and has published about 150 papers in international journals.David Quere is a French physicist. His research concerns collective mechanisms for creating spontaneous structure in forms of conventional condensed matter such as polymer liquids, evaporating liquid drops, layer-forming surfactant micelles and thin elastic sheets.

Yet many forms of interfacial phenomena can be understood via common principles valid for many forms of soft matter. Examples are the peeling of a strip of adhesive tape, the coating of a surface, the curling of a fiber via capillary forces, or the collapse of a porous sponge. Our goal in organizing this school was to give students a grasp of these common principles and their many ramifications and possibilities. Many of the distinctive and useful phenomena of soft matter come from its interaction with interfaces. A number of shorter courses and seminars rounded out the school. These interfacial phenomena are distinct from the intrinsic behavior of a soft material like a gel or a microemulsion. Mahadevan served as an anchor for the program. This volume collects the lecture notes of the school.. Four four-lecture courses by Howard Stone, Michael Cates, David Nelson and L. The Les Houches Summer School comprised over fifty 90-minute lectures over four weeks
