Gjesteforelesninger og seminarer

In this lecture, Dr. Chun-yi Lee will discuss the economic relations between mainland China and Taiwan.

Elisabeth Fosseli Olsen is a PhD candidate at TIK Centre for technology, innovation and culture. This seminar marks her midway evaluation. 

Arnt-B?rre Salberg is a Chief Research Scientist at the Norsk Regnesentral, affiliated with the Department of BAMJO (Image Analysis, Machine Learning and Earth Observation).  

His research primarily focuses on the developing deep learning, computer vision, and remote sensing methods to image data. This includes work on forest mapping and monitoring, marine science applications, coastal habitat mapping, foundation models, and analysis of data from various sensors like satellites, seismic, and marine echosounders.

In this lecture Dr. Scott Pacey will shine the light on the Taiwanese Buddhist movement Tzu Chi, its rise, activities and presence on the global stage.

Boreal lakes: analogous of the ancient ocean?

Ayla Bayram (Erciyes University, Turkey) will present her ongoing research on female characters in The Lady from the Sea and Hedda Gabler.

In this lecture, Seth Brodsky (University of Chicago) will discuss what happens when we question standard psychoanalytic accounts of the "silence of the drives" and instead see it as a point of departure for a new theory of music.

Uneven solid surfaces are ubiquitous in Nature and can significantly impact fluid flow over them. In this presentation I will discuss two different configurations were the wall unevenness govern fluid transport.
First, I will consider wet ceilings. When liquid is coated on an upside-down surface, it destabilizes to form pendant drops surrounded by a thin film of liquid. I will show that these pendant drops ¡®feel¡¯ surface defects even though they have no contact line. The defects induce a gravito-capillary pinning-like force that can be harnessed to control the drop motion.
Second, I will consider hairy pipes. Many biological surfaces are covered with long and elastic filaments or ¡®hairs¡¯. I will show that when a fluidic channel is covered with hairs, the hydraulic resistance can become non-linear. This non-linearity is mediated by the hair flexibility and degree of channel obstruction and can be rationalized with a multi-scale model.
