Poulain-Zarcos Marie

Marie Poulain-Zarcos is a Lecturer and researcher in fluid mechanics and the environment at École Centrale de Lyon, within the Department of Fluid Mechanics, Acoustics and Physics. She leads the Water and Wind Engineering (WWE) master's program and contributes to teaching activities in courses such as 'Computing for Engineers' and 'Fluid Mechanics.' Her research focuses on particle transport, turbulent flows, microplastics, and renewable energy.

• Education: Engineering diploma from Grenoble INP - ENSE3, PhD in fluid mechanics from the Toulouse Institute of Fluid Mechanics, and a post-doctorate in Marseille on red blood cell distribution.

Research Interests: Her work spans microplastic transport in oceans, stratification effects, and applications in renewable energy. She employs experimental and modeling approaches to address environmental challenges like marine pollution and fluid dynamics in complex systems.

Training Activities: She teaches fluid mechanics and ecological transition courses, and actively participates in outreach initiatives like the 'For Girls and Science' program with the L'Oréal Foundation.

Scientific Contributions: Her articles explore marine plastic pollution, microplastic origins, and fluid dynamics in both environmental and biomedical contexts. She collaborates with labs like LMFA and MFAE.

Advising & Grants: No advisees listed, but she contributes to curriculum development and research projects.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with LMFA (Laboratoire de Mécanique et Acoustique) and MFAE (Mechanics, Fluids, Acoustics, and Energy).
