Events at Med Fac UiO

This course will give you theoretical insight and practical skills related to biophysics-based modelling of neurons, neural networks and associated brain signals.

MSc Kaitlyn Michiko Tsuruda at Institute of Basic Medical Sciences will be defending the thesis “Overdiagnosis and 'underdiagnosis' in BreastScreen Norway” for the degree of PhD (Philosophiae Doctor).

Cand.med Tommy Frøseth Aae at Institute of Clinical Medicine will be defending the thesis “Surgical aspects and microRNA in knee cartilage pathology” for the degree of PhD (Philosophiae Doctor).

In this week’s NORA webinar, you will meet Signe Riemer-Sørensen and Camilla Sterud from SINTEF Digital. They will talk about greener logistics using AI.Transportation of goods from A to B is directly linked to CO2 emission and hence efficient logistics will reduce emission. Efficient transportation is a classical problem in optimization theory, but recent advances in machine learning open new possibilities.
