How are SDU students using AI chatbots as personalized learning tools — and how can science teachers guide students towards fruitful and academically appropriate uses?

Speaker: Gerard Valenti-Rojas (Atom Computing).Abstract: The accumulation of errors in quantum computers limits the execution of powerful algorithms. As a result, current devices require Quantum Error Correction (QEC) to operate reliably in the presence of noise — a paradigm known as Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation (FTQC).In this talk, I will introduce the principles of QEC, explain why it is essential, and illustrate how it can be implemented in practice on a neutral-atom quantum computing platform. This is meant to give the audience an intuitive sense of what it means to run a fault-tolerant quantum algorithm on real hardware. If time permits, I will discuss some promising quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) code constructions and the new opportunities they may offer for scalable fault tolerance.By the end of the talk, participants should be familiar with key concepts such as encoding circuits, logical gate implementation, syndrome extraction, as well as the practical challenges involved in realising these techniques experimentally.

This year's theme: FROM COGNITION TO CAPACITY Foundations of Empowering KnowledgeThe conference focuses on how empowerment arises through knowledge, and how it is strengthened and supported through interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration.

Adelina conducted a teaching experiment using figure construction to make student reasoning explicit and support integrative understanding of metabolic pathways.

SDU and NAFA invite you to a webinar where PhD Sizwe Nxasana presents his research on how to support teachers in unlearning old habits and adopting new, more student-centered teaching methods – and on identifying which forms of professional development actually work to make this happen. This presentation offers a unique insight into how project-based learning (PBL) is being adopted and developed in a South African context.At NiSE webinars, Danish science education researchers meet to further develop the science education knowledge ecology.It is about ensuring that everyone both receives knowledge and contributes knowledge and experiences within the pedagogical and scientific work of science education.The NiSE webinars are organized by the STEM Education Research Center – FNUG and the Center of Excellence in Science Education/Naturfagsakademiet (CESE/NAFA). NiSE is the name of the network: Network in STEM Education.This webinar is the second in a series of three during the autumn semester of 2025.Everyone is welcome.

Siva Tej Pindiprolu defends her PhD thesis at a public lecture: “Coupled Flows in G2 Geometry”.The chairman of the assessment committee, Associate Professor Du Pei, will act as chairman at the defence.The PhD defence takes place in IMADA Conference Room (Ø18-509-2).All are welcome.

We end the academic year at IMADA with strawberry cake, wine, water, beer, snacks and lots of summer mood 😃!All IMADA students and all staff are invited.No registration needed – just turn up!

CSC2026 is a student-organised symposium that explores the exciting and promising field of computational systems chemistry and cheminformatics - and their applications in research areas such as chemical reaction networks, metabolic pathways, generative models, and analytical chemistry.This free-to-register two day symposium is open to young researchers, ranging from Masters to post-docs, and even industry R&D specialists in the field of computational chemistry wishing to showcase, share, and discuss their work with like-minded researchers in the field. The deadline for registration is: May 15th, 2026Please note: attendees will need to pay for accommodation (if they require it) at a rate of 550 DKK per night - hotel rooms are organised by the team for you!
