Objectives
1) To understand contact line pinning-depinning and wetting dynamics over solid surfaces with different surface textures and energy landscapes; 2) To characterize the dynamic behavior of liquid-liquid interfaces made of two immiscible aqueous phases with extra-low interfacial tensions; 3) To quantify surface pre-melting transition and its kinetic pathways at the single-particle resolution for colloidal crystals below their melting point
