From
the head of department
Today I would like to
encourage all of you who have the opportunity to join the open seminar /
master meeting this Friday at 14:15, read more below. This is not just an
opportunity for all of you bachelor students to get an overview of the diversity
and possibilities at our department – you will also get to see that the
educational offer has high relevance for the job market. This applies not only petroleum technology and similar study programmes and directions, but also nuclear physics,
particle physics, space physics and others. It is very seldom that IFT students
end up unemployed! At the same time, I
would like to encourage all of the IFT students and employees to join the
seminar and get an insight into what other research groups are dealing with
– there is such a diversity that none of us actually have a full
insight into. Best regards News and general information
IFT Seminar
All are welcome to
attend the open seminar led by Kristine Indahl Helle introduces and with several other speakers aimed at discovering: ·
The Research
Possibilities and Diversity at IFT Today, Friday, March 9 at 14:15, Auditorium B. Coffee, soft drinks and sweet rolls from 14:00. This week’s open seminar
will be a sort of master studies meeting, with the intention to inspire
bachelor students to take a master in physics. Kristine will give a first
presentation of web-issue of IFT-matrix which will,
among other things, give a clearer overview of all the master study possibilities
at our department. All of the study fields of physics will be presented in ca.
7 min presentations of research done by various research groups, including
the interdisciplinary research areas conducted at our department. This is also a great opportunity
for all the employees and master students at IFT to come and get some updates on what the
other research groups are dealing with, as well as to learn about the great
research diversity to be found at our department. IFT seminar next Friday
Next Friday all are welcome to attend the open seminar with Dr. Patrick T. Newell from The John Hopkins
University, Applied Physics Laboratory, Maryland, USA:
Next Friday, March 16 at
14:15, Auditorium B. Coffee and a small snack from 14:00. Do find some time
for this one! The aurora, or northern
lights, is the airglow resulting when energetic particles from space strike
the upper atmosphere. The aurora is the only manifestation of the
dynamic space weather processes in constant play surrounding the Earth
visible to the unaided eye. Thus the auroral
oval, roughly a ring around both magnetic poles, is a projection screen upon
which major disturbances to the Earth’s magnetosphere can be observed.
The most prominent example of this is the auroral substorm, which provides the best viewing from the
ground, while explosively releasing magnetic energy stored in the Earth’s magnetotail. We discuss the aurora primarily as
seen from global satellite images and particle data, and the way in which it
reflects space weather. Seminars during the rest of
the year
This will be a very
active year with many seminars, and if you would like to find out more about
those already planned, you can follow the updates at this web page. Please note
that many of these are open seminars arranged by the faculty. Come and join, get
an overview and broaden your horizons! Open meeting at the Norwegian Technical Science Academy
NTVA
invites to a meeting in Bergen with
the managing director Arvid Nøttvedt
of the Christian Michelsen Research Centre: Tuesday, March 20 at 19:00 in Nansen Centre at Marineholmen, Thormøhlens gate
47. The meeting will be followed by a simple meal of fish soup and socializing.
The price is 100 NOK per meal. Registration until 15:00 on Thursday, March
15, but this is required only if you intend to join us for the meal. Reminder: Ethics for breakfast
European Energy Conference -
E2C
The European Forum for
Energy Research invites to the European Energy Conference - E2C 17
– 20 April 2012, MECC, Maastricht. The chairman of the
conference, Prof. Bolt, has put together with the Scientific Committee a
highly interesting programme with keynote
presentations on basically all relevant topics. The conference if of interest
not only for specialists but for all who feel they
should bring their knowledge in this for physicists so important field up to
date. In addition, the conference gives room to political views and contacts
and allows the participants to interact with panel speakers in a final round
table discussion. Research institutions and industry will use the opportunity
of the conference for exhibitions. Programme, more information and instructions for
registration is available at the conference website. PhD
Trial Lectures
MSc Hanna-Mari Viktoria Tikkanen will hold a PhD
trial lecture of the following title:
