As an Associate Professor at the University of Oslo and recently visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, California and ICERM at Brown University, speaker Roger Antonsen is committed to communicate science in original ways. While he has a PhD in mathematical logic and proof theory, Roger also offers a wide range of subjects from computer science to philosophy and art. He is known for challenging people to think differently and explore new perspectives.
Roger frequently appears as a speaker all over the world. He talked at NerdNite in San Francisco, the Pour Symposium in Paris, and the CSLA conference in Hong Kong. His engaging and energetic keynotes are truly entertaining and thought-provoking. His engaging and energetic keynotes are truly entertaining and thought-provoking.

Keynote by Speaker Roger Antonsen
How many Celtic knots are there? What is the connection between mathematics and juggling? What is a random walk? How can algoritms and mathematics lead to beautiful art?
Keynote by Speaker Roger Antonsen
What are algorithms? How can you learn to understand programming languages? Why should you learn to code? What do programming, coding, computer science, and data actually mean?

How do you know if you truly understand something? Why is playfulness so important to life and learning? What hidden insights can we learn from the enigmatic world of mathematics and abstract thinking?
Roger has a rare and contagious commitment to the subject he conveys.It is worth noting how rare good math communicators are and how important they are. And Roger is the best I've ever encountered. He is a Carl Sagan, or perhaps more accurately a Neil DeGrasse Tyson, for the borderland between mathematics and computer science. He explains complex ideas so they become easy. With an understanding of the audience's level and deep insight into the ideas he conveys, he strikes the perfect balance between simplification and precision.
Roger Antonsen is a brilliant communicator, and it is not surprising to me that Roger is also nominated among the nation's best lecturers in Morgenbladet's ranking of the country's best lecturers.
