Qasim Waheed Malik will defend his thesis “Characterisation of a monolithic pixel sensor for calorimetric applications” for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
Doctoral candidate Mateu Montserrat Canals at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Molecular warfare: A structural biology view on pathogen weapons — GbpA from Vibrio cholerae — and host defences — Vg from the honey bee" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Andreas Haraldsrud: “Make a simulation of a falling object.” “The following program should calculate the probability of getting yellow, wrinkled peas - fill in the blanks.” “Use chemical language to describe what is happening in this loop.”
Programming can be taught in various ways and depends on context. Andreas will present different methods for teaching programming in chemistry, physics, biology, geoscience and mathematics.
Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Tromsø
Björn Birnir is a Professor of Mathematics and is the Director of Center for Complex and Nonlinear Science at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB).
Active solids consume energy to allow for actuation and shape change not possible in equilibrium. In this talk, I will focus on the elasticity of systems as wide-ranging as far-from-equilibrium hydrogels, nanoparticles, and mechanical structures composed of active robotic components. First, I will introduce our recent work on hydrogel spheres being lowered onto a hot plate. As the bottom vaporises, the resulting flow couples tightly to elastic deformations within the sphere, giving either spontaneous bouncing or steady-state floating as manifestations of the so-called elastic Leidenfrost effect. I will present theory and simulations of the floating case, which demonstrate a remarkable phenomenon: the heavier the solid, the higher it floats. I will then discuss the general competition between active boundary stresses and an elastic bulk, giving rise to so-called active elastocapillarity. Finally, I will discuss our current work on using non-reciprocal interactions in active elastic media to program robust mechanical actuation and locomotion. In each case, our results provide theoretical underpinning for recent experimental advances, and point to the design of novel soft machines.
Mingle meeting at ITA with updates and cake.
Go on exchange to the world's northernmost campus, 78 ° north! As a science student at UiO, you can take courses at the University Center on Svalbard (UNIS) as part of your degree.
I will discuss the “geometric method” for syzygies and discuss applications to the study of tautological bundles of linear spaces. From this, I will explain how to pass from realizable matroids to all matroids via initial degenerations. This is joint work in progress with Alex Fink and Chris Eur.
Ph.d.-kandidat Rebecca Anne Robinson, Det matematisk-naturvitenskapelige fakultet, vil forsvare avhandlingen "Magnetic characteristics of quiet Sun nanoflares" for graden Philosophiae Doctor.
"The Effect of Antimicrobial Peptides on Ion Transport in Model Membranes"
SPARK Norway Educational Forum are monthly open meetings organized by UiO:Life Science and SPARK Norway partners.
A finite graph determines a Kirchhoff polynomial, which is a squarefree, homogeneous polynomial in a set of variables indexed by the edges. The Kirchhoff polynomial appears in an integrand in the study of particle interactions in high-energy physics, and this provides some incentive to study the motives and periods arising from the projective hypersurface cut out by such a polynomial.
From the geometric perspective, work of Bloch, Esnault and Kreimer (2006) suggested that the most natural object of study is a polynomial determined by a linear matroid realization, for which the Kirchhoff polynomial is a special case.
I will describe some ongoing joint work with Delphine Pol, Mathias Schulze, and Uli Walther on the interplay between geometry and matroid combinatorics for this family of objects.
