Lionel VINCENT
post-doctoral scholar - TIPs Lab
Welcome to my home page!
I am now post-doctoral scholar at Université Libre de Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium), where I work on problems related to the water exit of spheres and cylinders. My research interests span from the dynamics of passive flyers to interface crossing, liquid fragmentation and bacterial rheotaxis.
