NORDITA is the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics. Our purpose is to carry out research and strengthen the Nordic collaboration within the basic areas of theoretical physics. The main research areas at Nordita are:
- Astrophysics and Astrobiology
- Biological Physics
- Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics
- High Energy and Nuclear Physics
The institute is run jointly by Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Stockholm University and is located on the premises of AlbaNova University Center in Stockholm.
NEW STAFF
Nordita welcomes two new fellows:
- Anssi Collin, Finland, works in condensed matter physics.
- Jonas Larson, Sweden, also working in condensed matter physics.
as well as two visitors:
- Erling Brynjólfsson, Iceland, who is visiting Nordita for 6 months while working on his PhD thesis in string theory.
- Aleksandr Zheltukhin, Ukraine, also working in string theory, supesymmetry and mathematical physics.
NORDITA SUMMER SCHOOLS
Nordita Summer School on De Sitter Cosmology
Held 8 - 17 August 2008, at Nordita in Stockholm, this school is the anchor in a series of schools that complement university education and provide direct contact to field leaders in selected research areas, heading towards deep impact research activities.
Among the topics covered are the Cosmological Constant Challenge (Gregory Gabadadze) and Advanced Inflation (Martin Sloth). Registrations should be submitted before 30 June. [Read more...]
NORDITA CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS
Ultracold Atoms and Quark-Gluon Plasmas
Held in Copenhagen from 16 June 2008 to 4 July 2008, this workshop is organized by the Niels Bohr International Academy and Nordita. It will consider a number of problems common to strongly interacting cold atomic gases and systems of quarks and gluons. Two such themes are cold gases in optical lattices, and Fermi gases with resonant interactions. [Read more...]
