Né le 26 février 1975, François Gallaire obtient, en 1998, le diplôme d'ingénieur de l'Ecole Polytechnique à Paris et, en 1999, un master en « Physique des liquides » à l'Université Pierre et Marie Curie, toujours à Paris. Il rejoint ensuite le Laboratoire d'hydrodynamique (LadHyX) à l'Ecole polytechnique où il soutient, en 2003, une thèse sur le thème des instabilités des jets tournants et sur le contrôle de l'éclatement tourbillonnaire sous la direction de Jean-Marrc Chomaz. En 2003, il est nommé chargé de recherche au CNRS au Laboratoire J.A. Dieudonné de l'Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis.En 2009, il rejoint l
