The seminar series will showcase internationally renowned speakers with a strong emphasis on topics involving, but not limited to, optimization under uncertainty, PDE-constrained optimization, optimal control of complex systems, uncertainty quantification, scientific machine learning, and application areas such as image processing, materials science and more. The OiO seminar is a part of a broader effort to grow interest in continuous optimization in Oslo and is open to students, postdoctoral researchers, and beyond.

The planned format of the talk is 50 minutes for each presentation and 10 minutes for questions. We are planning to allow people to remotely attend the event and, pending each speaker's consent, we will record the events and host them on YouTube. If you'd like to attend an event in person here in Oslo then please contact me directly via email (see simula.no/people/thomasms). The first set of talks will run from October 19 until December 21, 2022 and again in late winter early spring 2023.
