Sophie Ramananarivo

Sophie Ramananarivo, a lecturer at the Ecole Polytechnique, works in the LadHyX hydrodynamics laboratory. Her research focuses on the interaction of deformable or mobile objects with the fluid that surrounds them, such as the locomotion mechanisms of fish in water. His team is also interested in the survival strategies of plants to resist strong winds or currents. Their ability to bend and change shape to protect themselves offers interesting prospects for the development of bio-inspired resilient structures.
