C*-seminar by Valerio Proietti (University of Oslo).
Doctoral candidate Tsung-Shu Joseph Wu at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Digitalisation of Health Surveillance for Early Detection of Outbreaks: the One Health Surveillance Platform in Malawi for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Professor Morten Hjorth-Jensen: Quantum control is essential for quantum technologies, but designing optimal control protocols can be challenging. Reinforcement learning offers a powerful way for algorithms to discover control strategies through interaction with a quantum system. This talk provides a pedagogical introduction to these ideas and their role in modern quantum technologies.

Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Tromsø
Welcome to our GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday 13rd of March @ 12:15 in Aud. 1 in the Geology Building. The seminar is held by Juliette Bonnet (Université Grenoble Alpes).
OBS! please note that the Geology Building now requires an access card, but that you can ring the bell to get in.
The distance matrix of a tree appears in a range of contexts, from phylogenetics to physical chemistry. I will describe a new result about the spectrum of this matrix, one that gives affirmative answer to two questions about matroid positivity properties. These are both strengthenings of Mason's conjectures about the log-concavity of sequence of numbers of independent sets of a matroid, proposed by Igor Pak and by Giansiracusa, Rincón, Schleis, Ulirsch, respectively.
At the heart is a characterization of the gross substitutes property from economics in terms of the Lorentzian property of a generating function.
This is joint work with Federico Ardila-Mantilla, Sergio Cristancho, Chris Eur, June Huh, and Botong Wang.
An expert committee led by Anders Malthe-Sørenssen was set down by the Norwegian government to analyze how AI is impacting higher education. The committee will deliver its final report in november 2026. The committee will address how learning outcomes should be adjusted to account for the AI, how teaching and learning will be impacted by AI and how assessment must be adjusted in an age of AI. In this talk, I address the preliminary report from the expert committee with particular focus on recommendations on assessment practices.
This week's lunch seminar is cancelled.
Welcome to a life sciences IP workshop led by two experienced life sciences patent attorneys from Abel & Imray LLP.
