Welcome to the AtLAST Forum, a platform for the community to exchange ideas and opinions about the AtLAST project and anything related to it.

Prior to his appointment at Victoria University of Wellington in February 2015, Budhi had spent nearly three years at Bank of America Corp. working as a Quant at the level of AVP. He was based mainly in Singapore with direct reporting line to the Head of Quantitative Risk Management Group at BofA HQ in Charlotte, North Carolina. He joined BofA soon after the completion of his PhD in Utrecht in January 2007. His area of research is predominantly on applied probability and stochastic systems towards applications in actuarial science, financial stochastics, optimal stopping and free-boundary problems in theoretical and applied finance, stochastic filtering and smoothing, estimation of Markov chains with covariates dependent transition intensity matrix and their general mixtures, maximum likelihood recursive estimation under incomplete information. He was a visiting scholar, among others, to NYU Stern in April-May 2025, September 2019; Mathematical Institute, University of Copenhagen in February 2020, IEOR Department of Columbia University in May 2014, DAAD visiting scholar to Mathematical Institute of Goethe University of Frankfurt in October-November 2013.

Ahmed Ahsanuzzaman (Independent University, Bangladesh) will present new research on the reception on Ibsen in Bangladesh.

In this final seminar, Marie Stilling will present the draft of her PhD thesis titled ¡°Cultivating weeds¡±.

Anniina F?rkkil?, MD PhD, is an Assistant professor in translational gynecologic oncology and a Specialist in gynecology at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

The title of her talk is:"Unraveling the Determinants of Spatial Tumor Ecosystems in Ovarian Cancer: Insights into Immune Interactions and Therapeutic Opportunities".

In this talk, I will present a joint work with Matilde Manzaroli. I will introduce real tori (in the greater generality) as well as real equivariant torus embeddings. Then I will describe the structure of the torus orbits. It will allow us to easily compute the Betti numbers of the real loci of smooth real equivariant torus embeddings, provided that those real loci are compact. Then I will present a canonical "foliation" of their real loci by equivariant embeddings of split tori. I will express a necessary and sufficient condition for this foliation to be given by the fibre of a fibre bundle, and explain how to reduce to this case by performing toric blow-ups.

Department seminar. Andreas Ravndal Kost?l is an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics, BI Norwegian Business School. He will present the paper "The Labor Supply Curve is Upward Sloping: The Labor Market Effects of Immigrant-Induced Demand Shocks¡± (written with Sigurd Galaasen, Joan Monras, and Jon Vogel).

The first meeting of the Nordic Network for Critical Theory will be taking place at the University of Oslo on 26-27 May 2025.

Dynamic wetting phenomena are present in many everyday situations where liquids interact with surfaces. Understanding and controlling the dynamics of droplets wetting solid surfaces is important in various applications such as boiling and condensation heat transfer, printing and coating, and microfluidic processes. However, modeling their dynamics is not easy because they are multiscale systems in which the advancing or receding of a nanoscale-thick contact line is linked to the behavior of the entire millimeter-scale droplet. In the Thermal Energy Engineering lab (TEEL) at the University of Tokyo, together with the collaborators, we have been investigating the rapid spreading of droplets on solid surfaces as a model system, where the non-equilibrium nature of energy dissipation at the contact line becomes evident. On a partially wetting solid surface, when capillary forces drive droplet spreading, the advancement of the contact line is governed by viscous forces, inertial forces, or contact-line friction. Through experiments, we demonstrated that the dominant physical mechanisms can be switched by tuning droplet properties, surface microstructure [1], or applied electric field [2]. We modeled and reproduced these experiments using a phenomenological parameter that quantifies the contact-line friction coefficient and mapped a phase diagram of dominant physical factors in a dimensionless parameter space. With the knowledge, we realized anisotropic wetting and droplet transport by taking advantage of the fact that the dynamic behavior of droplets can be controlled through solid surfaces when contact line friction is dominant [3,4]. Furthermore, in our recent experiments on droplet oscillation [5] and droplet sliding [6] on solid surfaces functionalized with various self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), we observed that nanoscale surface chemistry and morphology significantly influence contact-line dynamics. This suggests that contact-line friction originates from nanoscale energy dissipation, though the dissipation mechanism remains unclear, and thus, it calls for collaboration with experts with multiscale discipline.
