This event is over!
Thursday, May 24, 2018 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Institut de Botanique, Amphithéâtre Charles Flahault - Université de Montpellier
Conference moderated by Thomas Delaunay, Gilles Despaux, Emmanuel Le Clezio; researchers at the laboratory ofElectronics and Systems (IES) - Equipe M2A (Matériaux, Micro-capteurs et Acoustique) - University of Montpellier-CNRS.
Since the time of Pythagoras, scientists have been playing, sometimes quite seriously, with the music of sound waves. Today, the applications of their work resonate in many different fields: music, architecture, industry and medicine.
The Institut d'Electronique et des Systèmes (IES), through its M2A (Matériaux, Micro-Capteurs et Acoustique) team, specializes in characterizing industrial and biological materials using acoustic methods. Its members are also heavily involved in training courses at Montpellier University, such as the "Acoustics and Sound Environment" professional license and Masters programs.
Drawing on musical and natural analogies, they will explain the basic principles of acoustics and present results and images from international research activities. Through acoustic games, they propose an immersion in space and sound imagery, revealing the links between science and aesthetics.
UM Thursdays": a new lecture series
The University of Montpellier, with its eight Faculties, two Schools and 6 Institutes, is teeming with teachers andProfessors in the most varied fields of study. It wanted to highlight them and make them accessible to as many people as possible by offering a new cycle of lectures at the rate of one appointment per month from October 2017 to May 2018.
