Laurence TALINI

Laurence Talini is a Researcher affiliated with CNRS and the Department of Physics at École Normale Supérieure - PSL (ENS-PSL). Her work focuses on soft matter physics, particularly the dynamics of liquid films, foaming, and interfacial phenomena in complex fluids. She leads research on drying processes of polymer solutions, film stability in oil mixtures, and intermolecular effects on ultra-thin films.
