Alexandra Vallet is taking the brain’s pulse

, ,
The fluid around our brain moves with our body’s pulses. Studies of this dynamic are offering new insights into the underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. Researcher at Mines Saint-Étienne, Alexandra Vallet’s work is based on this cross-disciplinary approach. It focuses on how our brain’s mechanical properties and fluid-structure interactions influence its health and aging.

Patrice Abry, winner of the 2024 IMT-Académie des Sciences Grand Prize

, ,
Complex systems specialist Patrice Abry played a key role in identifying the fractal nature of Internet traffic as early as 1998. The success of his work, carried out in collaboration with Daryl Veitch, sparked the launch of a series of research projects integrating theoretical advances and applications, particularly in cybersecurity, that have continued over two decades. We review a career that saw techniques evolve with the times, but in which fundamental constants remain.
