I will present some of my work on the solid-electrolyte interface. There, so-called electric double layers (EDLs) can form that consist of electrons on the solid screened by a diffuse cloud of ions in the adjacent liquid. EDLs are of paramount importance to many processes in physical chemistry, soft matter and biophysics, as well as in EDL capacitors and modern "supercapacitors". My work on EDLs focused on their (out-of-equilibrium) formation through questions like: 'On what timescale does an electrolyte respond to an applied temperature or voltage difference?', 'How does the (local) temperature in an electrolyte react to an applied electric field?', and 'How is the EDL affected by a change in temperature or salt concentration?'. I will show how answers to these questions suggest new methods for harvesting sustainable energy, for instance, from the controlled mixing of seawater and river water.

C*-algebra seminar talk by Ole Brevig (University of Oslo)

DuMu^x  (short for "Dune for Multi- {Phase, Component, Scale, Physics,…} flow and transport in porous media") is  a free and open-source simulator for flow and transport processes in porous media. DuMu^x is modern C++ code based on the scientific software framework Dune (Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment) and has a focus on modularity and reusability. 

The main features and ideas behind DuMu^x will be introduced with several examples from recent research projects.
