Stephen May explores discourses of linguistic racism by white New Zealanders toward the Indigenous Māori language, in everyday discourses and the media.
Department seminar. John Hassler is a Professor of Economics at the Institute for International Economic Studies at Stockholm University. He will present the paper "Climate Policy in the Wide World" (written with Per Krusell and Conny Olovson).
Arkeologisk fredagsseminar med phd-stipendiat Paulina Blaesild fra G?teborgs universitet som vil snakke om "Wet land vegetative mind. Mesolithic human:environment relations and plant composition change in wetlands with cases from Dagmosse bog, South Central Sweden".
Velkommen!
Merete Pettersen holder innlegg for Forskerseminaret i tekst og retorikk.
PhD candidate Tora Olsen at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis 'On early life dynamics and population sizes of Barents Sea fish' for the degree of PhD.
The revised EU Renewable Energy Directive, adopted in 2023, sets an EU target for renewables of at least 42.5%, which will require that the installed wind capacity grows to more than 500 GW by 2030. A major part of this target is offshore wind energy, with bottom-fixed substructures in water depths up to about 70m, and floating platforms for deeper waters. Due to the coupling between loads, motions and control system, analysis of floating wind turbines is usually carried out with time-domain aero-servo-hydro-elastic simulation tools. The seminar will give a technology overview, state-of-the-art in modelling, and mention some of the scientific challenges currently being addressed in the wind energy community.
It is time for our monthly mingle meeting. Students and employees at the institute will meet up for informal chat.
Department seminar. Sebastian Seitz is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Manchester. He will present the paper "Estimating the Moral Hazard Cost of Private Disability Insurance and its Welfare Consequences."
Dr. Gross is currently Senior Scientist and Interim Head of the Epigenetics & Neurobiology Unit of EMBL in Rome, Italy. The title of his talk is: "How does context and experience shape social fear circuits?".

Two exciting talks about fish-killing microalgae and their toxins.
Professor Sif Ríkhar?sdóttir and professor Haki Antonsson
Emil Aas Stoltenberg is assistant professor at BI Norwegian Business School, and associate professor (20%) at the University of Oslo (UiO). He holds a PhD in statistics from UiO (2020). From the first of June this year, he will be full-time at UiO.
Chebyshev varieties are algebraic varieties parametrized by Chebyshev polynomials or their multivariate generalizations. We determine the dimension, degree, singular locus and defining equations of these varieties. We explain how they play the role of toric varieties in sparse polynomial root finding, when monomials are replaced by Chebyshev polynomials. We present numerical root finding algorithms that exploit our results. Joint work with Za?neb Bel-Afia and Chiara Meroni.
The amplituhedron is a semi-algebraic set given as the image of the positive Grassmannian under a linear map subject to a choice of additional parameters. We define the Infinituhedron as the limit of amplituhedra by sending one of the parameters to infinity. We derive its algebraic boundary in terms of Chow varieties and explain its geometric interpretation from the point of view of Positive Geometry in terms of secants of the rational normal curve. This discussion shows that the Infinituhedron is a positive geometry with a unique differential form. Joint work with Rainer Sinn.
In this final seminar, J?rgen Finstad will present the draft of his PhD thesis titled “Exploring multi-sector dynamics of lumpy decarbonization technologies: The case of Carbon Capture in Norway”.
Helene Kn?velsrud, Associate Professor in the Division of Biochemistry at UiO, will present her work on "When should you stop eating yourself? Or how is autophagy terminated?"
Clara Bertinelli Salucci is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Mathematics, affiliated with the PLUMBIN' (Physics Learning Using Machines and Bayesian INference) project at the University of Oslo. She completed her PhD in Statistics and Machine Learning at the University of Oslo in April 2024, where she developed statistical and machine learning methods for diagnostics and prognostics of lithium-ion batteries for maritime applications. Currently, she is investigating the role of likelihood ratio test statistics for hypotheses tests in experimental and theoretical particle physics, focusing on deviations from Wilks' theorem in the search for new particles. Her postdoctoral research combines her expertise in statistics with her background in high-energy physics.
Department seminar. Kjetil Storesletten is a Professor of Economics at the University of Minnesota and an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Economics, University of Oslo. He will present the paper "Tax and Transfer Progressivity at the U.S. State Level" (joint with Johannes Fleck, Jonathan Heathcote, and Gianluca Violante).
Atmospheric clouds are complex three-phase systems containing ice crystals, supercooled liquid droplets, and water vapor. They are responsible for rain/snow formation and play a primary role in the planet’s radiative energy budget and the water cycle. In this talk, after describing the peculiar thermodynamics problems of water below 0 °C and the relative open scientific questions, I will present our first results on the role of turbulence in the condensation/evaporation processes in mixed-phase clouds where ice crystals grow at the expense of liquid droplets.
Deniz Malaymar Buts fra Bo?azi?i University i Tyrkia presenterer sitt forskningsprosjekt om barn og idealisert barndom i Tyrkia etter 1923, med utgangspunkt i barneblad og oversettelser
It is time for our monthly "mingle" meeting. Students and employees at the institute will meet up in the lobby.
