Welcome to an introduction to Fat Studies! Francis Ray White, University of Westminster, and Sunniva Árja Tobiasen, University of Bergen, will introduce us to the research field. 

Department seminar. Vincent Somville is a Professor at the Department of Economics of NHH Norwegian School of Economics. He will present the paper "The Causal Effects of Income Volatility and Income Risk."

A talk by Fang Lili, Honorary Director, Researcher and Doctoral Supervisor of the Institute of Art at the Chinese Academy of Art.

Signe Barfoed introduces her new book The Artemis Laphria Sanctuary at Kalydon in Aitolia. The Finds from the 1920s–30s Danish-Greek Excavations volume 1, presenting for the first time the complete pottery assemblage from the early excavations. The talk also explores the practical and scholarly work behind the publication, including the research process, methodological choices, and the overall structure and aims of the volume.

Jens Eggers is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol, specializing in the analysis of singularities in nonlinear partial differential equations, with a particular focus on applications to fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2009 for his contributions to singularities in free-surface flows. Eggers was awarded the Naylor Prize and Lectureship in 2023 for his contributions to the theoretical understanding of singularities of nonlinear partial differential equations.

Miriam Stackpole Dahl, Senior Communication Advisor at CICERO, Centre for International Climate Research.

The goal is to understand "Birational Invariants from Hodge Structures and Quantum Multiplication" by Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev-YU. KKPY introduce new birational invariants called Hodge atoms. These are constructed by combining classical Hodge theory with quantum cohomology. They use it to prove that a very general cubic fourfold is not rational.

On April 9, Liyang Xia will present her forthcoming book on Ibsen, theatre and the Chinese state.

The Departmental Seminar Series features Yazan Doughan, Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

The Philosophical Seminar With Karina Vold

Aliaksandr Hubin is an Associate Professor in Statistics at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and University of Oslo. He holds a PhD in Statistics from the University of Oslo (2018) and specializes in Bayesian inference, machine learning, and statistical modeling. His research focuses on scalable and interpretable methods in Bayesian regression context, with particular expertise in latent binary Bayesian neural networks, Bayesian generalized nonlinear models.

In this talk, Andriy Danylenko explores how the varieties of modern Ukrainian have developed and changed, and what this means for the language today

Responses to Mass Rape and Children Born of Rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–1995)

CIMS and the Faculty of Theology are pleased to announce a co-organized event featuring a lecture by Ehlimana Memišević.

It is time for our monthly mingle meeting. Students and employees at the institute will meet up for informal chat.

Let X be a variety, and (F_n) a sequence of coherent sheaves on the n-th symmetric products Sym^n X. Following Okounkov, we consider the notion of (F_n) being factorisable. Roughly speaking, this means that over points of Sym^(m+n) X corresponding to the union of disjoint configurations in Sym^m X and Sym^n X, the sheaf F_{m+n} is the tensor product of F_m and F_n. Completing a partial argument by Okounkov, we show that if (F_n) is factorisable, then the generating function of Euler characteristics of F_n is the plethystic exponential of a generating function of Euler characteristics of sheaves on X. I'll explain why this is true and why it's useful.

AI for sustainability and sustainable AI. On this occasion, we focus on sustainable AI with expert in economics, climate and energy research. The event is in the scopes of the Norwegian AI-Centre SURE-AI and intersects the interests of the Research Thematic Group Unruly Sustainability.

In this lecture, Andriy Danylenko will provide a historical background to the current language situation in Ukraine

Andrew is a postdoctoral researcher in Statistical Machine Learning at the University of Limerick, Ireland. His research interests centre on developing methods at the intersection of statistical modelling and machine learning. He completed his PhD in 2024 where his research focused on statistically-based methods for neural networks, with a particular focus on model selection and interpretation. After his PhD, he spent some time in the pharmaceutical industry, working on Phase 3 clinical trials in the immunology therapeutic area.

Her talk is entitled: "Breaking Silos in Single-Cell Biology: Towards a Unified Cellular View".

In this final seminar, Silje Marie Svartefoss will present the draft of her PhD thesis titled “Governments and mission-oriented innovation policy: Friends or foes?”.

Department seminar. Guillaume Hollard is a Senior researcher at CNRS and Professor at École Polytechnique. He will present the paper "Do Observed Biases Reflect Discrimination? Evidence from Teacher Grades, Transcript Comments, and Baccalauréat Jury Decisions."
