Ivar Svalheim Haugerud is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo. His research interests lie at the interface of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, soft matter, and chemical physics. In his PhD work, he studied how simple chemical systems driven far from equilibrium can give rise to emergent, life-like behavior, with a particular focus on non-dilute mixtures, phase separation, and active droplets. Using a non-equilibrium thermodynamic framework, his work explored the interplay between phase separation and phenomena such as excitability, self-sustaining oscillations, oligomer sequence selection, and the replication of sequence information, with the aim of identifying minimal physical mechanisms relevant to the emergence of life.

The Philosophical Seminar With Pauline Kleingeld (University of Groningen)

Since Ellingsrud and Peskine showed that there is an upper bound on the degree of smooth surfaces not of general type in P^4, there have been efforts to find them. I will give a survey of different methods of construction, and a list of the kind of surfaces known so far, reporting also on joint work with Hirotachi Abo and Frank-Olaf Schreyer to write a Macaulay2 package that produces equations of examples of each kind.
