Physique Mésoscopique des Ondes                   pour Imagerie en Milieux Complexes

The first workshop of the GDR MésoImage took place at the Henri Poincaré Institute in Paris, from 29 to 30 October 2009. The focus of the workshop was on fundamental and applied aspects of wave propagation in complex media, including disordered and nonlinear media. It was an opportunity for GDR members and for a certain number of their foreign colleagues to present and to discuss their latest scientific results. We hope that this workshop helped to maintain existing and to initiate new collaborations between GDR members as well as between GDR members and their foreign colleagues.
