Profile Summary
After many years in Corporate Research, in both experimental and theoretical polymer physics, I have recently started an academic career as a Fulbright Scholar, Marie-Curie Awardee and HDR of the University of UPPA (Pau, France). My intense review work of the field for the last 5 years has led me to write a book and conduct a series of courses and lectures on a new way to consider polymer physics. I hope that my contribution to the understanding of entanglements will benefit processing of polymers in many novel ways. Finally, my long time desire to teach on line what I have learned, from my own experience, is made possible by the recent advances in web communication technology.
