The goal of the course is to provide a comprehensive description of magnetism across length scales, from the microscopic physics of individual spins in solids to the collective behavior of magnetic materials described by continuous micro-magnetics. Starting from the quantum and atomic origins of magnetic moments, the course introduces exchange interactions, magnetic anisotropy, and spin dynamics at the single-spin level. It then develops the concepts of collective magnetism in localized and itinerant systems, including magnetic ordering, spin waves, and domain formation. Finally, the course presents the continuum description of magnetization dynamics and magnetic textures within the framework of micromagnetism, with applications to modern condensed matter physics and spintronics.

The main goal of this course is to present the superconductivity – the most famous macroscopic quantum phenomenon – and related effects, applications, and materials. 

This course presents tools from nonlinear physics to describe the dynamics of physical systems under climatic or technological constraints.
 

This course bridges classical fluid mechanics with advanced topics relevant to nonlinear transport and geophysical or energy-related flows. We begin with a theoretical foundation connecting statistical physics to continuum mechanics, deriving Navier–Stokes equations from Boltzmann kinetic theory and discussing the microscopic origin of transport coefficients. 

We then explore compressible flows and their analogies with interfacial waves, leading to insights on shock waves, solitons, and the nonlinear dynamics of surface and internal waves.

This course explores the fundamental physics of materials used in energy conversion and storage.

This course discusses advanced thermodynamics for energy conversion in natural and technological systems, with a focus on irreversible processes and entropy production. 

This course introduces the fundamental principles of atmospheric thermodynamics and radiative transfer, including spectroscopic foundations and energy balance models. It explores general circulation through quasi-geostrophic models (single- and two-layer), baroclinic instabilities, and turbulent oceanic transport.
