Events

The International Conference on new Frontiers in Physics aims to promote scientific exchange and development of novel ideas in science with a particular accent on interdisciplinarity.

July 4-12 | Crete, Greece

Master of Science Wei Zhan at Department of Physics will be defending the thesis 

"Band gap mapping of alloyed ZnO using probe-corrected and monochromated STEM-EELS"

for the degree of PhD

Doctoral candidate Master in Physics Wei Zhan at Department of Physics will give a trial lecture on the given topic:

"Future directions and applications for semiconductor Electronics"

By Philip M. Weiser from the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology Physics

Benjamin Pollard is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder, which is at the forefront of research-based development of physics laboratory teaching, including beyond the first year. In this talk, he will share one of the approaches used to improve physics laboratory courses.

The purpose of this Networking Day is to strengthen our regional Scandinavian network of physics and astronomy researchers working on a variety of projects related to computing in science education. Each visitor will give a 20 minute presentation, followed by 10 minutes for questions, and participants are encouraged to actively use the coffee and lunch breaks for networking.

By Irene Brox Nilsen from the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE).

We welcome Eleanor Close, who will tell us how they run the Learning Assistants program at Texas State University. Their presentation is intended to be the starting point for discussions on how we can draw on their experience and expertise to develop our own Learning Assistants program. 

Trinket is a browser-based portal to programming that does not require the user to download or install software, making it easy to use. Hunter Close from Texas State University will share with us how he uses Trinket to introduce students in introductory physics to programming.

Welcome to the 14th Nordic Meeting on Nuclear Physics!

The meeting in Norway will be next in the series of conferences which have been held every few years since the 1970’s with the location rotating between Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The 13th Nordic Meeting was organized in Saariselkä, Finnland in April 2015.

John Dehls is a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU). He has an MSc from Lakehead University (1992) and a PhD from University of Toronto (1997). His last fifteen years have been focused on radar remote sensing; specifically the use of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques for deformation monitoring. He has led the development of an operative landslide mapping and monitoring system using InSAR within NGU based upon Radarsat-2 data, and is currently leading the establishment of a national InSAR service based upon data from the Copernicus Programme's Sentinel-1 satellites.

Seminar by Oliver Eisermann

Master of Science Laura Franconi at Department of Physics will be defending the thesis 

"Insertable B-Layer integration in the ATLAS experiment and development of future 3D silicon pixel sensors"

for the degree of PhD
