Anisotropies in the extragalactic electromagnetic emission originated from dark matter represent an emerging tool in the quest for a particle dark matter signal. These anisotropies are due to the cumulative emission from unresolved dark matter structures, which are present at any scale: galaxy clusters, individual galaxies, subhalos inside galaxies. The same structures can be probed by gravitational tracers of the dark matter distribution in the Universe: this is obtained by large-scale-structure surveys, but in the future a good wealth of additional and complementary information will be available from weak lensing surveys. The study of gamma-rays anisotropies and the cross-correlation between the dark matter signal and gravitational tracers offer a novel and powerful opportunity to probe the particle physics nature of dark matter. The talk will introduce details and features of gamma-rays anisotropies and give perspectives of the cross-correlation approach.

TRAMP Realtime Application Mobility Platform – Fine-Grained migration of multimedia applications
Kjetil Børkje, University College of Southeast Norway
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.

CIENS inviterer til frokostseminar med tema: Intens nedbør i Oslo. MET byr på fersk forskningsbasert kunnskap om hva vi observerer og hva vi kan vente oss, og Oslo kommune orienterer om hvordan de planlegger for å unngå problemer.
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.

M.Sc. Magne André Nordaas at the Department of Informatics will be defending his dissertation for the degree of Ph.D:
Operator preconditioning for PDE-constrained optimisation and multiscale problems
Welcome to GeoHyd Lunch Seminar Friday May 19th @ 12:15 in Aud 3 in the Geology building.
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.
