Olivier Pouliquen is a research director at IUSTI (CNRS / Aix-Marseille University). His research focuses on granular media, on suspensions, trying to understand how these divided material flows. He is the Principal Investigator of the CohPa project.

Maxime Nicolas is a University professor and researcher at IUSTI (CNRS / Aix-Marseille University). His research focuses on granular matter, powders, and flows.

Joël Marthelot is a researcher at IUSTI (CNRS / Aix-Marseille University). His research focuses on soft bioinspired actuation.

Yoel Forterre is a researcher at IUSTI (CNRS / Aix-Marseille University). His research focuses on the mechanics and flow of complex materials between fluid and solid, such as particulate media (granular materials, yield-stress fluid, dense suspensions) or biological systems (plants).

Pascale Aussillous is a University professor and a researcher at IUSTI (CNRS / Aix-Marseille University). Her research focuses on the flow of granular media and dense suspensions.
