The ScienceAtHome group at Aarhus University has developed a number of games and tools for quantum-physics-based citizen science and education. One of these tools, Quantum Composer, allows students and researchers to explore quantum mechanics in one dimension.

Jan Myrheim, NTNU Trondheim

_{Weekly Theory Seminar.}

We have developed a framework to describe the modeling process in physics laboratory activities.

Doctoral candidate Sigvald Marholm at the Department Of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis

The Unstructured Particle-In-Cell Method with Applications for Objects in Ionospheric Plasmas

for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Sigvald Marholm at the Department of Physics will give a trial lecture on the given topic:

“Challenges of large-scale kinetic plasma simulations”​

This talk investigates what it means to learn computer science content, how we might better support computer science learning, and how we might better understand what learners know.

_{Weekly Theory Seminar.}

Doctoral candidate Magdalena Kersting at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis

“General Relativity in Secondary School - Research-Based Development of Learning Resources and Analyses of Students’ Conceptual Understanding Using the Model of Educational Reconstruction”

for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Magdalena Kersting at the Department of Physics will give a trial lecture on the given topic:

"Quantum mechanics from a discipline and secondary school perspective: the didactic transposition and its research-informed methods”

"Classical Molecular Dynamics using Neural Network Representations of Potential Energy Surfaces"

"Studies of Quantum Dots using Machine Learning"

"Latent Variable Machine Learning Algorithms: Applications in a Nuclear Physics Experiment"

Doctoral candidate Kine Mari Bakke at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis 

"Assessing cancer aggressiveness by functional magnetic resonance imaging" 

for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

The presentation touches on learning goals, assessment, and teaching practices around computation and discusses research that has been carried out in the context of P-Cubed that has informed our thinking and resulted in iterations on our design. 

Kine Mari Bakke at the Department of Physics will give a trial lecture on the given topic:

“The measurement of tumor hypoxia in human patients using MRI”

Velkommen til det årlige juleseminaret vårt! I år fokuserer vi på beregninger og programmering i begynnerundervisningen i fysikk og integrasjon av programmering i matematikk i fagfornyelsen i skolen fra 2020. Programmet vil også inkludere en offisiell åpning av de nye lokalene til senteret. 

A curriculum for the introductory calculus-based course taken by beginning university science and engineering students, takes a contemporary perspective on introductory-level physics.

By Elin Melby from Inven2, and Prof. Ørjan G. Martinsen from UiO

Sigbjørn Grini at the Department of Physics will be defending the thesis 

“Band gap grading and impurities in Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells” 

for the degree of PhD

Sigbjørn Grini at the Department of Physics will give a trial lecture on the given topic:

"Which photovoltaic technology can meet the world electricity demand in 2050?"
