Andreas Rosnes will defend his thesis “Microscopic insights into metal exsolution and defects in non-stoichiometric perovskite oxides” for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Franziska Jessica Schöb will defend her thesis “From Pixels to Phenotypes: Deep Learning on Label-Free Microscopy Data for Cell Fate Prediction; How Algorithms Help Us See More” for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Anton Souslov is an Associate Professor in the Theory of Condensed Matter group at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. He is a theoretical physicist whose research focuses on soft matter, mechanical and optical metamaterials, active matter, topology, and polymer physics. He obtained his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from Florida State University in 2006 and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011. Before joining Cambridge in 2024, he held research and academic positions at Georgia Tech, Leiden University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Bath.

His research explores how the collective behaviour and structure of materials can give rise to unusual physical properties. His work spans active materials, mechanical metamaterials, topological systems, and, more recently, topological photonics and structured optical fibres. His research has been recognised through awards and grants including an EPSRC New Investigator Award and a Royal Society Research Grant. At Cambridge, he continues to investigate how concepts from topology and condensed-matter physics can be used to design novel materials and devices with potentially useful mechanical and optical properties. 

Join us in listening to Hasse Hansen, EPIC Flight Controller at Columbus Control Centre!

We will give an introduction to constructive analysis following Errett Bishops book "Foundations of Constructive Analysis". We start by covering elementary real analysis, and the aim is to cover Chapter 5 on Complex Analysis. 

Speaker: Erlend F. Wold 

Lecture I: Introduction, and start on Chapter 2 in Bishop. 

Professor Ivan C. Christov is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics (by courtesy) at Purdue University. He leads research at the intersection of applied mathematics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics, with particular interests in soft hydraulics, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, multiphase and particulate flows, nonlinear waves, and computational and data-enabled science and engineering.

His research combines mathematical modeling, theoretical analysis, computation, and experiments to investigate complex fluid–structure interactions and transport phenomena, with applications spanning biomedical engineering, advanced materials, and micro- and nanotechnology.

Professor Christov received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 2011, following degrees from Northwestern University, Texas A&M University, and MIT. His honors include the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award, the NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, and the Richard P. Feynman Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
