Roger Antonsen
Roger Antonsen received his PhD in computer science in 2008, in the field of logic, proof theory and automated reasoning, from the University of Oslo in Norway. He is an enthusiastic and passionate speaker with a wide variety of interests, in particular juggling, mathematics, and puzzles of all sorts. Through his talks, shows and projects, Roger says he "wants to do science communication in a different way, in order to inspire a new generation of thinkers and remove the common misconceptions about mathematics and computer science". By using microcontrollers, sensors and open source technologies, like Arduino, he is able to demonstrate the mathematics of juggling and the physics of roller coasters in both novel and entertaining ways.
