Three PhD candidates Tomas, Amandine and Wenxue from CompSci, attended the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2024 in Vienna, Austria. They gave presentations at this conference, either by oral talk or posters, to show their research work. This conference is a big one in the whole Geosciences field.
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Computational Science, researchers have revolutionized the way transition metal complexes (TMCs) are optimized. Authored by Hannes Kneiding, Ainara Nova, and David Balcells (Hylleraas Centre for Quantum Molecular Sciences), the study introduces a novel strategy for navigating the vast chemical spaces within which these valuable complexes exist.
The article highlighted includes the work on deep graph learning recently published by the CompSci PhD candidate Hannes Kneiding and his CompSci supervisors Thomas Bondo Pedersen, David Balcells, and Riccardo De Bin, most of them members of Hylleraas.
The University of Oslo honours outstanding employees by annually awarding five prizes for research, young researchers, education, dissemination and innovation.
On April 17-18 2023, CompSci PhD candidates participated in their first PhD Programme Seminar.
New chemical transformations can be catalyzed with molecular gold compounds or gold nanoparticles. Researchers at the catalysis group have reported a simple and robust protocol for the synthesis of gold(III) compounds that are crucial for the development of these catalytic reactions. The synthesis utilizes heating in a microwave oven, and produces a number of new compounds, quickly and cleanly, in a one-step process.
This is the first book dedicated to compiling state-of-the-art visualization in porous materials.
The book serves as a reference for teachers, scientists, and engineers working with porous materials. François Renard, a CompSci supervisor, is one of the contributors.
New research on roundworms demonstrates that it may be possible to slow down the aging process.
Professor of meteorology Trude Storelvmo is one of two from the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo awarded the ERC Consolidator Grant announced recently. With that, she will receive millions from the European Research Council (ERC) for several years to come.
Two CompSci supervisors, professors at the Department of Geosciences, have recently been appointed to membership and positions within academia. Joseph LaCasce is admitted to The Norwegian Scientific Academy for Polar Research, and Andreas Kääb is appointed to a position in Circle-U – a network for European university collaboration.
On December 02-03 2021, CompSci and dScience PhD candidates participated in their first PhD Programme Seminar.
Fyhn uses many practical examples to show what the theoretical knowledge can be used for, also further in working life, according to her students.
On September 27 2021, CompSci PhD candidates, their supervisors and people involved in the CompSci project met at Georg Sverdrups hus to celebrate the start of the CompSci Doctoral Programme.
The new CompSci doctoral initiative has now announced its first 16 PhD positions across the entire Faculty.
The Faculty of Mathematical and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo (UiO) was recently granted a € 2.6 million MSCA COFUND project – TraCS, training in computational science – to fund 32 PhD-students in a program that provides young, talented researchers with the computational and data science skills needed to transform research and innovation across Europe.
Together with five strong partners, the University of Oslo has been awarded EU funding for a project that will generate new knowledge about transferable skills while also laying the foundation for a future university alliance.
