Professor Jacques Magnaudet is a Senior Research Scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and a leading member of the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse (IMFT), France. His research lies at the forefront of fluid mechanics, with internationally recognized contributions to hydrodynamics, turbulence, multiphase flows, and interfacial phenomena.

Over the course of his career, Prof. Magnaudet has made seminal contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of bubbles, drops, and particles in complex flows, including their interactions with turbulence, vortices, walls, stratification, and rotating environments. His work combines theoretical analysis, high-fidelity numerical simulations, and close collaborations with experimental researchers.

He is widely known for developing predictive models and computational tools for two-phase and turbulent flows, including the in-house JADIM simulation code used for direct numerical simulations of complex fluid systems.

Prof. Magnaudet’s work has had broad scientific and engineering impact, with applications ranging from nuclear safety, chemical engineering, and aerospace systems to ocean-atmosphere interactions, drag reduction, volcanology, and environmental flows. His recent studies on bubble path instabilities, stratified turbulence, and interfacial dynamics continue to shape modern research in multiphase fluid mechanics.

PhD candidate Xiang Lu at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis 'Boreal lakes as mediators for terrestrial organic carbon processing and greenhouse gas emissions: a case study from Langtjern Norway' for the degree of PhD.

Join us to hear from an expert in research ethics about self-plagiarism and why it is a misleading concept!

Join us for the official launch of QSTAR, a new centre for quantum computing and applications hosted by SINTEF with UiO, NTNU, OsloMet, Simula, University of Copenhagen and RISE as research partners.

The Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science (SITES) is a network of stations that enables field-based ecosystem research. Each station brings unique research foci, expertise, experiments, long-term monitoring and societal settings to the infrastructure built on shared scientific goals and methodologies. 

Several of the BioGov project's PhD candidates have collected sufficient data to begin their analyses.

This data workshop will provide the candidates an opportunity to present their data and recieve constructive feedback from advisors and peers on how to proceed. 

Preparedness and solutions that can be used in health care as well as in defence – so called dual-use technologies – have become more relevant. The European Defence Fund is one of the relevant funding sources for researchers and startups. 

Tittel: Ice loads on offshore wind turbines

Doctoral candidate Andreas Grøvan Aspaas at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Creep bursts in landslides - Characterization and modeling of transient deformations for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Professor Martin van Hecke is a group leader at AMOLF, Amsterdam, and a professor of physics at Leiden University. He got his PhD in theoretical physics in 1996 at the University of Leiden. Since then he has worked on a broad range of topics in flexible and frustrated matter combining experiments, simulations and theory. The common thread in all this works is the fascination for the emergence of complex behavior in seemingly simple systems.

After been awarded the Vici grant in 2011, he focused his research on mechanical metamaterials, from patterned elastic media to origami. In particular he has developed new design techniques to make complex metamaterials that straddle the boundary between material and machine, and that form complex patterns or can self-fold when compressed. Based on these ideas and supported by an ERC-advanced grant (2021), he is now exploring if and how complex materials – from metamaterials to crumpled sheets – can store and process information. He works part-time at AMOLF, running a single group at two locations and spearheading the AMOLF ‘Modern Mechanics’ expertise center.
