Jean-François Louf (Juhn Frans-wah) was a postdoctoral researcher in the lab. His research focused on various problems in soft mechanics of relevance to agriculture, the environment, and human health. He then moved on to a faculty position at Auburn University (see here for more details).

Jean-François (a.k.a. Jeff) is French and, as a result, loves red wine (be careful! he's picky) and food. He also loves thrills and doesn't hesitate to go very high to sky dive/hike the highest mountains, or also very deep to scuba dive in the seven seas.
