Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Oslo

Professor Jacques Magnaudet is a Senior Research Scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and a leading member of the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse (IMFT), France. His research lies at the forefront of fluid mechanics, with internationally recognized contributions to hydrodynamics, turbulence, multiphase flows, and interfacial phenomena.

Over the course of his career, Prof. Magnaudet has made seminal contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of bubbles, drops, and particles in complex flows, including their interactions with turbulence, vortices, walls, stratification, and rotating environments. His work combines theoretical analysis, high-fidelity numerical simulations, and close collaborations with experimental researchers.

He is widely known for developing predictive models and computational tools for two-phase and turbulent flows, including the in-house JADIM simulation code used for direct numerical simulations of complex fluid systems.

Prof. Magnaudet’s work has had broad scientific and engineering impact, with applications ranging from nuclear safety, chemical engineering, and aerospace systems to ocean-atmosphere interactions, drag reduction, volcanology, and environmental flows. His recent studies on bubble path instabilities, stratified turbulence, and interfacial dynamics continue to shape modern research in multiphase fluid mechanics.

Title: Evaluation of AROME-Arctic sensible and latent heat fluxes during three marine cold air outbreak events observed during CAESAR

Speaker: Andrew Dzambo, University of Oklahoma

PhD candidate Xiang Lu at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis 'Boreal lakes as mediators for terrestrial organic carbon processing and greenhouse gas emissions: a case study from Langtjern Norway' for the degree of PhD.

Title: Results from RAMIP Phase 1: How aerosol emissions in different regions affect temperature, precipitation, AMOC, monsoons, air quality and more

Join us to hear from an expert in research ethics about self-plagiarism and why it is a misleading concept!

We invite you to the May RoCS Solar/Stellar Lunch. You are invited to discuss your work with colleagues.

Join us for the official launch of QSTAR, a new centre for quantum computing and applications hosted by SINTEF with UiO, NTNU, OsloMet, Simula, University of Copenhagen and RISE as research partners.

PhD candidate Xiang Lu at the Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on: 'Is the color of boreal lakes still increasing? An updated status on levels, causes, implications and future development of lake color in boreal lakes' as part of the disputation.

The Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES) is a network of stations that enables field-based ecosystem research. Each station brings unique research foci, expertise, experiments, long-term monitoring and societal settings to the infrastructure built on shared scientific goals and methodologies. 

Several of the BioGov project's PhD candidates have collected sufficient data to begin their analyses.

This data workshop will provide the candidates an opportunity to present their data and recieve constructive feedback from advisors and peers on how to proceed. 

Preparedness and solutions that can be used in health care as well as in defence – so called dual-use technologies – have become more relevant. The European Defence Fund is one of the relevant funding sources for researchers and startups. 

Welcome to our GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Tuesday 26th of May @ 12:15 in Aud. 1 in the Geology Building. The seminar consist this time of two talks given by; Benjamin Robson (UiB) and Sunil Tamang (University of Canterbury).

OBS! please note that the Geology Building now requires an access card, but that you can ring the bell to get in.

Late Lunch Talk by Britt Heidinger (North Dakota State University)

Doctoral candidate Andreas Grøvan Aspaas at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Creep bursts in landslides - Characterization and modeling of transient deformations for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Professor Martin van Hecke is a group leader at AMOLF, Amsterdam, and a professor of physics at Leiden University. He got his PhD in theoretical physics in 1996 at the University of Leiden. Since then he has worked on a broad range of topics in flexible and frustrated matter combining experiments, simulations and theory. The common thread in all this works is the fascination for the emergence of complex behavior in seemingly simple systems.

After been awarded the Vici grant in 2011, he focused his research on mechanical metamaterials, from patterned elastic media to origami. In particular he has developed new design techniques to make complex metamaterials that straddle the boundary between material and machine, and that form complex patterns or can self-fold when compressed. Based on these ideas and supported by an ERC-advanced grant (2021), he is now exploring if and how complex materials – from metamaterials to crumpled sheets – can store and process information. He works part-time at AMOLF, running a single group at two locations and spearheading the AMOLF ‘Modern Mechanics’ expertise center.

Doctoral candidate Erik Schytt Mannerfelt at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Glacier Surge Dynamics in a Warming Arctic for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Doctoral candidate Aprisa Chrysantina at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Online Training in ICT4D Partnerships: An Institutional Logics Perspective for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Ane K. Espeseth is a PhD Candidate at INTED and will give a talk about her work.

Title: A volcano of water: How the Hunga eruption affects Earth's climate system

Speaker: Zhihong Zhuo, University of Quebec

Doctoral candidate Katalin Terézia Ferenc at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Aiming for robustness in computational gene regulation studies for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
