Cratering and structures in sandy soils, silo discharge, self-assembled structures, granular gases.avalanches and granular flows; these are some phenomena involving the dynamics of grains studied in our laboratory. We also develop original research focused on fluid dynamics and other complex systems such as active matter, magnetic and biological systems, chaos, among other table-top experiments.
