C*-seminar by Ali Miller (KU Leuven).

Artificial Intelligence is not just a technological shift: it is quietly reshaping the foundations of democracy. From access to information to political participation, AI holds the power to both empower citizens and distort public discourse. Where does opportunity end, and erosion begin?

Doctoral candidate Elena Mamonova at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis A thorny path to a habitable world. Studying primordial exoplanet atmospheres with the Young M Dwarf Flare model for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

By Prof. Dr. Ravit Helled, Professor and Director of UZH Space and the Department of Astrophysics, University of Zurich.

Title: Factoring clouds into global precipitation change: Toward explained and constrained responses to warming and aerosols

Speaker: Zachary McGraw, University of Vienna

Kari Dalnoki-Veress is a Faculty of Science Research Chair in Experimental Soft Condensed Matter Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University and an adjunct professor at the ESPCI in Paris, France. He is an experimental physicist with a passion for soft condensed matter and teaching. Dalnoki-Veress has received the Canadian Association of Physicists Brockhouse Medal, the Rutherford Memorial Medal in Physics from the Royal Society of Canada, the American Physical Society Division of Polymer Physics Dillon Medal and was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2011. Dalnoki-Veress has served as Chair of Physics and Astronomy for NSERCs Discovery Grants, an Editor of the European Physical Journal E, Editorial Advisory Board of Macromolecules and ACS Macro Letters, and currently as a Divisional Associate Editor for Physical Review Letters. His research group at McMaster focuses on fundamental experiments in soft and living matter at surfaces and interfaces. Dalnoki-Veress is also CTO of MesoMat Inc. which exploits the world between molecular and macroscopic – the mesoscale – to enable material innovation.
