The right to the networked city: digital networks and urban space

With the ubiquity of digital networks, the way of inhabiting urban space is changing. The increasing use of mobile devices and the availability in 'real time' local information allowed new forms of communication and interaction between individuals. Along with new capabilities for microcoordenação personal social activity, we see the rapid expansion of data generation through daily practices. While in the networked interactions become an everyday negotiation dimension of contemporary public space, there is an urgent need to think about how this trajectory becomes older geometries of city power.

The Future of the Universities

With Marco A. Zago, Carlos Vogt, Naomar de Almeida Filho, Luiz Bevilacqua, John Heath and Klaus Capelle. Debaters: Helena B. Nader and Marcelo Knobel. Moderation: Sabine Righetti. he Institute of Advanced Studies of the University of São Paulo (IEA-USP) and the Institute for Advanced Research of the University of Nagoya (IAR) are leading a inter-institutional, interdisciplinary and global project: the Intercontinental Academia (ICA). An initiative of the UBIAS network, the ICA will bring together 15 young researchers from different nationalities and areas of knowledge to develop studies on "time." During two immersion meetings, one from April 17 to 29, 2015, in São Paulo, and another one in January and February, 2016, in Nagoya, the group will participate in conferences, workshops and debates.

On the modeling and computation of Immersed Boundaries in Complex Fluids

The interaction of flexible free-to-move boundaries with non-Newtonian (complex) fluids is receiving increased attention. Accurately capturing the coupled dynamics of this intricate flow-structure interaction is a challenging computational problem. The Immersed Boundary (IB) Method provides a versatile tool for this type of systems. However, even in the Newtonian fluid case, strong tangential forces on the immersed structures induce a well-known, severe time-step restriction for explicit discretizations. Moreover, as the number of immersed elements increases, the direct evaluation of the flow-structure interaction becomes computationally expensive.

COLÓQUIO - IFUSP: DUNE: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment

Neutrinos are the second most numerous type of particle in the Universe. These almost “invisible” particles are incredibly difficult to detect, passing freely through matter. However, as a result of a series of innovative large experiments in the last 20 years, we have learnt a great deal about neutrinos. For example, we now know that neutrinos have a mass, providing clear evidence for physics beyond the our current understanding. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is the next step in this decades long experimental programme. DUNE will address profound question in neutrino physics and particle astrophysics - it aims to do for neutrinos what the LHC did for the Higgs boson. DUNE consists of an intense neutrino beam fired a distance of 800 miles from Fermilab (near Chicago) to the 40,000 ton Liquid Argon DUNE detector, located deep underground in the Homestake mine in South Dakota. In this colloquium I will discuss why the mysterious neutrino may hold the key to understanding physics beyond the current Standard Model and describe how we intend to study neutrinos with unprecedented precision in the DUNE experiment.
