Following up his Master thesis project this summer, Daniel Jakobsson is back at RoCS working at the SolarAlma project.
A month before the national lockdown in March, Atul Mohan started working at the EMISSA project at RoCS, UiO, as a Postdoctoral Fellow.
"Create realistic mocks of what the telescope will observe is crucial for a correct analysis of the data. That is the biggest challenge."
"Since I did both my bachelor’s and master’s degree at UiO, and then decided on doing a PhD here, it might be easy to tell that I like Oslo and ITA a lot."
"The favourite part of my job is the collection, reduction and analysis of observational data. I particularly enjoy the process of “cleaning” and exploring the data to reveal their hidden information."
"I expect to learn a lot every day, and I hope that my work will contribute to the quest for dark matter."
"From early age I've always loved the stars, and Astrophysics has always been my favourite part of physics."
"The ability to do world class research and collaborate with other European researchers while at the same time experiencing a new culture is what really drew me to Oslo."
"Line Intensity Mapping studies show great promise in their power to probe cosmology and global astrophysical quantities", Marta B. Silva
Before settling down in Oslo, Maksym has studied at five different universities in Europe. His love for astrophysics brought him to Oslo.
Originally from Stavanger, laureate in Bergen, Thore Espedal Moe is the new PhD student at the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physic, UiO.
"I hope my contributions will help increase our understanding of the relationship between the Solar magnetic field and atmospheric heating" - Rebecca Robinson.
"I was at an early age determined to learn more within astronomy" - Øystein Håvard Færder.
"Stars are the driving force to the life as we know it, so to understand the origins of life, understanding stars is crucial." - Sneha Pandit
Since April 2019, Carlos Quintero Noda is a new postdoc of the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS). His aim? To become a better researcher expanding his knowledge of numerical simulations, while learning how to enjoy the Norwegian winter.
"I wanted to know how it is living in one of the cities with the highest life quality in the world"
"By the time I was in upper secondary school I knew exactly how I wanted to proceed in the following years"
"I am fascinated with the nature here, and the mountains so close to Oslo. That is something you cannot find in Denmark!"
"ITA offers an ideal environment to learn and a unique opportunity to collaborate with members of the solar group whose research topics are akin to mine."
“Norway itself is welcoming - since my arrival the weather was ideal.“
“I’m hoping to embrace the Norwegian culture as much as possible and make the most out of the beautiful Scandinavian nature“, Petra Kohutova
Benedikte Evensen is starting as Centre Coordinator for RoCS from the 1st of February 2018.
