I will discuss ongoing work on cavity optomechanical systems, where electromagnetic radiation in a cavity interacts with the motion of nano- or microscale objects via radiation pressure. Such interactions have been exploited in order to bring mechanical systems into the quantum regime, but also in order to manipulate light or microwave radiation. Due to a small coupling constant, this has so far involved driving the cavity with a large number of photons. In this talk, I will discuss how single photons can be controlled or detected using optomechanical interactions. In particular, I will explore whether this is possible even if the system is not in the so-called strong coupling regime.

Late Lunch Talk by Lee Hsiang Liow, Natural History Museum & Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES)

László Nagy from the Fungal genomics & Evolution lab in Szeged, Hungary

László is a young and dynamic group leader with an interesting portfolio. His group focuses on the basic principles of genome evolution with an emphasis on the evolution of complexity and genomic mechanisms of parallel/convergent evolution. They combine phylogenetics with comparative and functional genomics to bring new insight to the field using the multitude of whole-genome.

Birthe Marie Steensen at the Department of Geosciences will be defending her dissertation: Modelling and optimized forecasting of volcanic ash and SO2 dispersion

Welcome to GeoHyd Lunch Seminar Friday May 19th @ 12:15 in Aud 3 in the Geology building.

Doctoral candidate Birthe Marie Steensen at the Department of Geosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: The dynamical effects of volcanic eruptions on large-scale atmospheric and oceanic circulations

The foremost experts in the field of personalized medicine will come together with the Nordic hospital directors and medical faculty deans to explore issues such as data sharing, privacy, innovation, stakeholder engagement, and cross-border studies from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Body mass is an important indicator of general condition as it reflects energy accessible for survival and reproduction. Recent evidence show that several species have experienced shifts in their body mass due to climate change. In the monogamous wandering albatross, average body mass and breeding success has increased over the last years. Surprisingly, the increase in breeding success seems to be due to heavier fathers investing more in their sons.

Topological cyclic homology is a variant of negative cyclic homology which was introduced by Bökstedt, Hsiang and Madsen. They invented topological cyclic homology to study algebraic K-theory but in recent years it has become more and more important as an invariant in its own right. We present a new formula for topological cyclic homology and give an entirely model independent construction. If time permits we explain consequences and further directions.

Asymmetric dark matter with sufficiently strong self-interactions might potentially lead to the formation of dark matter compact objects. I will entertain this possibility providing possible ways of distinguishing these “dark stars” from ordinary black holes and other compact objects like neutron stars. I will also discuss some new techniques in dark matter direct detection that could facilitate searches in the sub-GeV mass region.
