	Research
	Synchronization of coupled non-linear oscillators Synchronization of Josephson junctions embedded in a transmission line, Synchronization of fiber laser arrays. Biological and statistical physics Dynamics of motor proteins: The aim is to contribute to the theory of motor proteins by establishing general principles and setting an appropriate conceptual context, by providing analytical tools, and by demonstrating the acceptability, or otherwise, of qualitative rationalizations and of simplifed models that may, nonetheless, capture some of the essential science. The pursued research projects mainly arise from specifc experimental issues.
