Every second Tuesday, CBA members gather for lunch and a talk. On May 23rd 2023, we have an early career presentation given by two PhD students Eira Carlsen and Elisabeth Wörner.
Communication is key - and science is no exception. We can communicate our research via written words, sounds, and visuals. Since a picture gets processed 60.000 times faster than written words, the use of visuals is the most effective way of making your audience understand your message - whether it is an oral presentation, a poster, or a paper. This course aims to teach scientists how to create and present an award-winning poster, increasing the impact of their research.
Doctoral candidate Alise Danielle Midtfjord at the Department of Mathematics will be defending the thesis Machine learning methods for safety-critical systems with time dependency for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Fermi problems (also known as Fermi estimation problems or estimation problems) are a classic type of exercise that have been used in physics education for decades.
At UiO we have begun using them in our first-semester physics course as a gentle start to “thinking like a physicist." But Fermi problems can also be a rich site for building modeling skills across the STEM disciplines, and when combined with a little statistics and computation can quickly turn into simple Monte Carlo problems.
This ODD seminar will be partly a Fermi problem workshop and partly a demonstration of the new class of computational Fermi problems we are developing for our physics and STEM courses.
Also, there will be cake!

Welcome to our GEOHYD Lunch Seminar Friday 12th of May @ 12:15 in Aud. 2, Geology building, or via video link using Zoom. The seminar is held by Ugo Nanni, GEO, UiO.
Doctoral candidate Emilie Willoch Olstad at the Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis "Prenatal Medication Exposure, DNA Methylation and Child Neurodevelopment" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.
Gina Panopoulou, Assistant Professor at Division of Astronomy and Plasma Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg.
Is it difficult to set aside time to write? The Academic Writing Centre organsises structured writing sessions for doctoral students.
On Thursday the 11th of May at 13:30, we host a double AQUA/CEES seminar! Katerina Guschanski and David Richardson are visiting our department as opponents for the disputation of Oliver Kersten and they were happy to give a talk the day before.
Title: A Lagrangian view of MOSAIC, the largest polar expedition: one year of atmospheric transport in the Arctic seen through trajectories
Speaker: Silvia Bucci, University of Vienna
Welcome to our dScience lunch seminar in the Science Library! This event is open to everyone.
In collaboration with one of our projects, Cell4Chem, Centre for Digital Life is inviting for a 2-day workshop on research data management, tailored to meet the individual need of YOUR data.
Each spring, near the date of Svein Rosseland's birthday, the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics invites everyone to a guest lecture by an internationally renowned astrophysicist as a remembrance for our great astrophysicist Svein Rosseland (1894-1985), founder of our institute.
This talk will introduce a recent suite of research focussed on the statistical detection of anomalous structure in online data settings. The challenge of efficiently identifying anomalies in data sequences is an important statistical problem that now arises in many applications. Whilst there has been substantial work aimed at making statistical analyses robust to outliers, or point anomalies, there has been much less work on detecting anomalous segments, or collective anomalies, particularly in those settings where point anomalies might also occur. This is the challenge we seek to address, demonstrating theoretical results in both the offline and online settings as well as introducing some applied case studies.
Welcome to a new GeoWednesday. This month Adriano Mazzini will give a talk about the the Arctic permafrost.
The NorMIC series of workshops aims to teach biological researchers (PhD students, engineers, postdocs and young PIs) the principles of biological microscopes and image processing.
We have restructured the first year of the physics bachelor program, introducing a new course combining numerical methods with introductory mechanics in the first semester. I will describe briefly the background for this and then discuss some of the experiences that we have had running the course almost twice by now. I will focus on the types of numerical problems the students have worked on and describe what they have mastered and what they have found challenging.
