Eran Sharon

Eran Sharon is a Visiting Professor at the Laboratoire de Physique (LPENSL) at ENS de Lyon from April 2022 to May 2023. He holds a permanent position as a Professor at the Racah Institute of Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. His research focuses on nonlinear physics and soft matter, particularly growth-induced patterning in elastic materials and turbulent rotating fluid flows.

Collaborating with Adda-Bedia Mokhtar, he investigates crack propagation in thin plates under residual stress to develop geometric formalisms for non-linear fracture mechanics. His work intersects hydrodynamics, specifically turbulence in stratified fluids, and experimental physics.

Key areas of study include: geometric principles in elastic sheet patterns, inertial wave dynamics in rotating turbulence, and biomimetic material behavior. He delivered seminars in April 2023 on self-morphing materials and rotating turbulence nonlinearities.

His research outputs span experimental and theoretical frameworks, with publications in Europhys. Lett., Physical Review Fluids, and Phys. Rev. Lett. No specific awards or students are mentioned in the provided texts.
