Biography
Graduated from the École supérieure d'électricité (1974 promotion), Patrick Tabeling was a professor and researcher at the statistical physics laboratory of the École normale supérieure de la rue d'Ulm (ENS Ulm) from 1985 to 2001. In 2001, he was appointed as a professor at the École supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la ville de Paris (ESPCI ParisTech) where he is the group leader of the Microfluidics, Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanostructures[1] laboratory. He is charged by the French National Centre for Scientific Research to coordinate the activity of research laboratories in microfluidics as a chairman of the french microfluidic network [2] and is a consultant scientist for Schlumberger, Rhodia, Sanofi and Unilever.
Patrick Tabeling is editor of the fluid division of Physical Review Letters and guest editor of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Works
Patrick Tabeling's laboratory develops microfluidic applications [3] with industrial [4] and research laboratories of biology and analytical Chemistry of ESPCI ParisTech and is concerned with more fundamental issues such as conditions of wall slip in microfluidic systems.
