  abstract     = {Conference travel contributes to the climate footprint of academic research. Here, we provide a quantitative estimate of the carbon emissions associated with conference attendance by analyzing travel data from participants of 10 international conferences in the field of magnetic resonance, namely EUROMAR, ENC and ICMRBS. We find that attending a EUROMAR conference produces, on average, more than 1 t CO2 eq.. For the analyzed conferences outside Europe, the corresponding value is about 2–3 times higher, on average, with intercontinental trips amounting to up to 5 t. We compare these conference-related emissions to other activities associated with research and show that conference travel is a substantial portion of the total climate footprint of a researcher in magnetic resonance. We explore several strategies to reduce these emissions, including the impact of selecting conference venues more strategically and the possibility of decentralized conferences. Through a detailed comparison of train versus air travel – accounting for both direct and infrastructure-related emissions – we demonstrate that train travel offers considerable carbon savings. These data may provide a basis for strategic choices of future conferences in the field and for individuals deciding on their conference attendance.},

@phdthesis{18443,
  abstract     = {In [KW06] Kapustin and Witten conjectured that there is a mirror symmetry relation between
the hyperkähler structures on certain Higgs bundle moduli spaces. As a consequence, they
conjecture an equivalence between categories of BBB and BAA-branes. At the classical
level, this mirror symmetry is given by T-duality between semi-flat hyperkähler structures on
algebraic integrable systems.
In this thesis, we investigate the T-duality relation between hyperkähler structures and the
corresponding branes on affine torus bundles. We use the techniques of generalized geometry
to show that semi-flat hyperkähler structures are T-dual on algebraic integrable systems.
We also describe T-duality for generalized branes. Motivated by Fourier-Mukai transform
we upgrade the T-duality between generalized branes to T-duality of submanifolds endowed
with U(1)-bundles and connections. This T-duality in the appropriate context specializes to
T-duality between BBB and BAA-branes.
