In April, we will host a two-day workshop at the Department of Geosciences and the PHAB Centre on early Earth’s atmospheres, oceans, and planetary habitability. The EON-workshop is for researchers (post-docs, PhDs, Masters and others at Geo), including Professors and different overlapping groups at Department of Geosciences.
QOMBINE seminar talk by Leon Loveridge (University of South-Eastern Norway)
Doctoral candidate Iris Mužić at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Land–atmosphere interactions and recent hydroclimatic extremes in Nordic Fennoscandia: Insights from regional climate modelling for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Doctoral candidate Sondre Wold at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Compositionality And Generalization in Language Modeling for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Ahmad Rafsanjani is a Professor of Soft Robotics in the Biorobotics section of the Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Institute at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). He received his doctoral degree in 2013 from ETH Zurich. Prior to joining SDU, he held postdoctoral positions with Daminao Pasini at McGill University, Katia Bertoldi at Harvard University, and André Studart in Complex Materials at ETH Zurich. His research group at SDU Soft Robotics develops adaptive, flexible systems inspired by nature, often realized through kirigami- and origami-based metamaterials and composite materials for friction-driven limbless locomotion and soft robotic perception.
Welcome to our GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday 17th of April @ 12:15 in Aud. 1 in the Geology Building. The seminar is held by Nicola Imperatore (CEN Snow Research Center in Grenoble).
OBS! please note that the Geology Building now requires an access card, but that you can ring the bell to get in.
Title: Causes and effects of polar vortex dynamics
Speaker: Ekaterina Vorobeva, NILU
Investing in Future Health & Life Sciences Technologies, Small-Market Innovators Going Global.
C*-seminar by Haluk Sengun (University of Sheffield).
Doctoral candidate Simon Elias Schrader at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Rothe’s method with Gaussians for quantum dynamics" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Doctoral candidate David Samuel at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Data-Constrained Language Modeling for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Jens Eggers is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol, specializing in the analysis of singularities in nonlinear partial differential equations, with a particular focus on applications to fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2009 for his contributions to singularities in free-surface flows. Eggers was awarded the Naylor Prize and Lectureship in 2023 for his contributions to the theoretical understanding of singularities of nonlinear partial differential equations.
The goal is to understand "Birational Invariants from Hodge Structures and Quantum Multiplication" by Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev-YU. KKPY introduce new birational invariants called Hodge atoms. These are constructed by combining classical Hodge theory with quantum cohomology. They use it to prove that a very general cubic fourfold is not rational.
Talk 1: Susann Tegtmeier, University of Saskatchewan
Long-term changes of the Brewer-Dobson circulation and their impact on stratospheric composition
Talk 2: Matt Toohey, University of Saskatchewan
How long does stuff stay in the stratosphere? Recent progress on an age-old question
How to secure funding?
Aliaksandr Hubin is an Associate Professor in Statistics at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and University of Oslo. He holds a PhD in Statistics from the University of Oslo (2018) and specializes in Bayesian inference, machine learning, and statistical modeling. His research focuses on scalable and interpretable methods in Bayesian regression context, with particular expertise in latent binary Bayesian neural networks, Bayesian generalized nonlinear models.
Welcome to our GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Tuesday 7th of April @ 12:15 in Aud. 2 in the Geology Building. The seminar is held by Emmanuel Trouvé (Savoie Mont-Blanc University).
OBS! please note that the Geology Building now requires an access card, but that you can ring the bell to get in.
Doctoral candidate Mohamed Eid Ahmed Safy at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Computationally guided CO2 to methanol catalysis: From a mechanistic investigation to a descriptor-based screening" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
