Hylleraas seminar, hosted in Oslo

When a body (such as an offshore structure and ship) exists on the surface of the ocean, it is influenced by waves. At the same time, waves are deformed by the body. This interaction is essential for considering the problems of bodies in waves. Although these are complicated systems, the theory is well-established based on linear potential flow, and this explains these phenomena very well.
In the seminar, some applications of potential theory-based analysis are shown, including the seakeeping of a ship, multi-bodies interaction, and elastic plate in waves. In addition, the progress of the study of wave-ice interaction in a marginal ice zone is presented which is a current work in UiO.

SPARK Norway Educational Forum are monthly open meetings organized by UiO:Life Science and SPARK Norway partners.

Join us for this semester's first department seminar on 25. October, where we will have the pleasure of hearing our colleague Michael Welzl (DIS/ND), sharing his work on a new Standard API for the Internet that paves the way for new opportunities for research and innovation. 

Heather J. Lewandowski: 
Quantum sensing, quantum networking and communication, and quantum computing have attracted significant attention recently, as these quantum technologies could offer significant advantages over existing technologies.

In order to accelerate the commercialization of these quantum technologies, the workforce must be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills.

Through a study of the quantum industry, in a series of interviews with 21 U.S. companies carried out in Fall 2019 and from a survey administered to 57 companies through the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) in Fall 2020, we describe the types of activities being carried out in the quantum industry, profile the types of jobs that exist, and describe the skills valued across the quantum industry, as well as in each type of job

Knut Oddvar Høie Vadla will defend his thesis "Search for production of charginos and neutralinos in dilepton final states with the ATLAS detector at the LHC" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Alissa Kotowski is an Assistant Professor by the Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Geosciences at the University of Utrecht. 

Title for her tolk is: Strength and deformation mechanisms of amphibole-rich rocks in hot and cold subduction zones.

The survival of green plants depends on the efficient use of photosynthesis in the leaves, where sunlight, water, and CO2 are transformed into sugar – the raw material, which builds up even the largest trees. The dissolved sugars are transported by osmosis through the sieve tubes of the phloem, a vascular system, which runs through the veins of the leaves and on through the stem, all the way down into the roots. The sugar production sites (mesophyll) are distributed over the entire leaf, and it is important for the functionality of the leaf that they are all able to export their sugars. For conifer needles the linear venation architecture makes this challenging, and they have an extra “transfusion tissue” that bridges between production and transport. We are currently studying this complex collection of interdigitated water -and sugar-carrying cells by micro X-ray tomography on intact needles and by network modelling, to understand the pathways for water and for sugars (running in opposite directions) with huge pressure differences (say 3 MPa) across tiny length scales (say 5 microns).

Diffusion and reactions are central to understanding life. However, studies often focus on dilute systems, while the interior of living cells is crowded with macromolecules that occupy about 20 % to 40 % of the cell volume, affecting virtually all intracellular processes [1]. In this talk, I will mainly focus on diffusion, emphasising the effects significant to crowded intracellular environments, such as polydispersity of crowders [2], macromolecular shapes, interactions [3], and softness [4]. We will also briefly discuss how reactions proceed under crowding, paying particular attention to enzymatic reactions [5] and the cooperativity of divalent binding [6].

Professor Ewan Birney will give a public talk and guest lecture at the Radium Hospital in Oslo.

Doctoral candidate Jonas Sæther Markussen at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis SmartIO: Device sharing and memory disaggregation in PCIe clusters using non-transparent bridging for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

The conference is an occasion to bring together researchers in the beautiful Hammamet to discuss on the recent developments in stochastics with applications to mathematical physics and finance

Welcome to a new Computational Science seminar. This coming Friday, we have the pleasure of having Lars Nordbryhn, who has, since 2018, been the Norwegian focal point for IBM's Quantum Computing program. Attached there is a poster to promote the event. Feel free to share it with whomever you feel would be interested.

Since the format for the talk might be slightly different than usual, there is no specific title/abstract this time.
