The University Board has reduced the financial support for publishing Open Access (OA) articles. From Oct 1, OA articles in subscription journals on level 1 are no longer covered by the publication fund. Corresponding authors to OA articles in level-2 journals may apply for reimbursement of 50% of the article processing charges. Consult the complete guidelines, or contact bora@uib.no.
After spending time in the most stunning landscapes of Norway last year, Sara Barranco Campos, a BSc student from Madrid, decided to join the Le Roux group for an Erasmus internship of 9-months. Ms. Barranco is greatly enthusiastic about working on the development of new bifunctionalized N-heterocyclic carbene of group 4 as catalysts for the copolymerization of epoxides with CO2 . Her project is a part of GreenCAT-project – “Design of Green Catalysts for the Conversion of Renewable Resources into Polymers”, funded by the Research Council of Norway.
As many will know, Chenchen Lin successfully defended her PhD thesis last week. Her work forms part of the research effort of professor Kvalheim and coworkers, within metabolomics. An important application is within the treatment of obesity, and Chenchen’s findings in this respect were recently featured in Vestlandsrevyen!
Formally a part of the regular course MNF990 Theory of Science and Ethics, today (Wednesday 21 September) there will be a mini seminar series with three eminent lecturers on ethics in science.
Location: Biologen (Thormøhlens gate 53b), B-blokken, room K3/K4 (1H19/1G19) .
At 10.15-12 – Andrea Saltelli on Responsible Quantification.
At 12.15-14 – Roger Strand on Responsible Research and Innovation.
At 14.15-16 – David Gee on Conflicts of Interest in research.
You are all welcome to attend one or several of these lectures.
Note also that there will be an early evening lecture in Egget (at the Student Centre) on Climate numbers and climate wars. A fatal attraction? Andrea Saltelli lectures at Wednesday 21 Sept 16.15-18hr
Chenchen Lin successfully defended her PhD thesis today. The thesis title is Multivariate analysis of human serum fatty acid profiles and a popular-science summary is provided in Norwegian here. Dr Lin has been supervised by Olav Kvalheim and Svein Mjøs. Congratulations to all involved and most of all to Chenchen herself!

lir først en kort samling i 3069 (inkl. kaffi) før vi går samlet ned til Thormøhlens gate 55A for en omvisning i det nye NNP-bygget. Dette er en utmerket anledning til å teste det nye spektrometeret. Ta med en prøve i et standard 7″ NMR-rør og indiker hvilke eksperimenter du ønsker og eventuelle parametere så kjører vi prøven. Fra i dag og til kommende mandag vil 850 MHz spektrometeret kjøre IconNMR og vil være tilgjengelig gratis for brukere ved Kjemisk institutt. Hilsen Jarl, José og Olav
UiB er ferd med å utvikle en generell digitaliseringsstrategi. Denne skal støtte opp om og utdype UiBs strategi ved å beskrive hvordan Universitetet i Bergen skal utnytte de mulighetene digitalisering gir for å nå våre mål og hvordan vi kan utnytte de strukturelle endringene digitalisering medfører. Et utvalg har lagt fram utkast til digitaliseringsstrategi i fem punkter: Gjennomgående digitalisert infrastruktur; Brukerorienterte digitale tjenesterr; Det digitalt inviterende universitet; Det administrativt selvbetjente universitet; og En kultur for endrings- og gjennomføringsevne. Alle UiB-ansatte på Nygårdshøyden er invitert til høringsmøte på torsdag 22. september kl. 1430-16, sted: Stort auditorium i Lauritz Meltzers hus (SV-bygget), Fosswinckels gate 6.
Max Akira Endo Kokubun is recently hired as a postdoctoral researcher focusing on mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of colloid transport in porous media. The project is led by Kristine Spildo in collaboration with Florin Radu from the math department and funded by Akademiaavtalen.
Max is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and before joining us he was working with mathematical modelling and analysis of liquid-gas filtration combustion, with emphasis on multicomponent effects. He holds a physics degree and both Master and PhD degrees in Aerospace Engineering, all from Brazil.
Jarand Gauteplass is recently hired as a postdoctoral researcher on a project focusing on CO2 injectivity and storage in the subsurface. The project is supervised by Prof. Tanja Barth and the overall objective is to mitigate loss of CO2 injectivity near the injection well caused by hydrate formation and salt precipitation. The project is funded by NFR / CLIMIT.
Previously, Jarand has been characterizing multiphase fluid flow in heterogeneous porous media at various length scales. He holds a PhD in reservoir physics from the physics department @ UiB.
