And here we go again... with the beginning of the new year, we sparkle the kick-off of 2020 with a one-day workshop where all PhD students in Stochastics and Risk have the opportunity to present their work. 

In addition we shall have two talks held by our international guests Prof. Yuliya Mishura and Prof. Kostia Ralchenko from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.

Abstract:  "The study of foliations falls largely into two parts: One can study the leaf geometry or one can study transversally elliptic operators. The leaf geometry consists of studying the individual submanifolds and how they lie within the manifold. On the other hand, the study of transversally elliptic operators was initiated in the seminal work of Atiyah. This talk will be arranged as follows: The first part will be an introduction to Riemannian foliations and transverse geometry, and the second part is a survey of the results on transversally elliptic operators, foliated gauge theory and some recent work."  

Nicola Sartori (Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padova, ITA) will give a talk on September 17th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Title: Modeling the drift and radar backscatter signature of icebergs, by Ron Saper, Carleton University, Canada. 

Abstract: Icebergs are a source of wonder and mystery, and hide many mysteries that remain to be solved. In the quest to observe icebergs remotely and predict their behaviour, many difficulties are encountered and, at every turn, we find the expectations of engineers and researchers are frustrated. In this wide-ranging talk the many misconceptions and fallacies about icebergs are surveyed and analyzed, and their impact on scientific research and practice are explained and reflected upon. Examples are drawn from iceberg drift forecasting, remote sensing, and iceberg tracking studies.
