Algebraic Theory of Information Quantities

Information theory is a discipline at the intersection of statistics, engineering and computer science. As the study of information quantities, such as compression or communication capacities, information content or measures of statistical dependency, it is one of the theoretical underpinnings of data science.

Computational problems in information theory are highly non-linear. The goal of this project is to transfer state-of-the-art methods of computational non-linear algebra to information theory, to study the inherent algebraic complexity of information-theoretical problems and to provide tools for solving them in practice. The algebraic point of view has proven to be fruitful in seemingly unrelated areas, as witnessed by a surge of recent work in algebraic statistics, in particular on likelihood geometry. However, maximizing the likelihood function is the same as minimizing relative entropy — a specific information quantity. Hence, this project also aims at generalizing the techniques developed in likelihood geometry.

One focus is on the practical computation of information quantities using numerical and differential algebraic geometry. Such quantities are defined via non-linear optimization problems and we aim to pinpoint the algebraic complexity of these problems in instances of general interest, such as common information measures. The final objective is finding fundamental laws and limits of data science imposed by non-linear inequalities constraining the entropic region. These inequalities provide, by duality, universal bounds for many of the optimization problems studied in information theory.

WHeelchair Activity Monitoring project (WHAM)

Wheelchair users (WCU) are three to five times more inactive than the general population, leading to a high risk of developing preventable secondary conditions. Although physical activity (PA) guidelines have been specifically developed for WCU, we lack systematic approaches to implement them in practice, as well as valid algorithms to monitor PA change in WCU through sensor-based solutions. Accordingly, the overall scientific aim of the WHeelchair Activity Monitoring project (WHAM) is to advance PA research and practice in WCU by developing valid digital markers for monitoring of and providing feedback on PA, paving the way for implementation and intervention. I will accomplish this through combining the complementary research fields of 1) behavioural intervention studies focusing on increasing PA in WCU (core competence University of British Columbia, UBC; outgoing phase) and 2) sensor-based PA monitoring (core competence Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU; returning phase – consolidated by non-academic placement at Maastricht Instruments, which develop research prototypes including PA monitors). WHAM’s scientific aim is achieved through three objectives: 1) Measure the effect of a pragmatic exercise intervention trial on self-reported physical activity levels and cardio-respiratory fitness, 2) Develop valid algorithms for tracking PA markers in WCU, and 3) Co-create a framework that outlines how PA can be conjointly monitored and provided feedback on in WCU. This fellowship will enable me to become established as an internationally recognized researcher in the field of “physical activity and disability”, while bringing together ongoing national disjointed research activities in this field. Altogether, my overall ambition is to contribute to reducing inequalities in daily-life participation among WCU compared to the rest of the population.

EOSC Beyond: advancing innovation and collaboration for research

EOSC Beyond overall objective is to advance Open Science and innovation in research in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) by providing new EOSC Core capabilities allowing scientific applications to find, compose and access multiple Open Science resources and offer them as integrated capabilities to researchers. To do so, EOSC Beyond supports a new concept of EOSC: a federated and integrated network of Nodes operated at different levels, national, regional, international and thematic, to serve the specific scientific missions of their stakeholders. Further specific objectives of the project are to accelerate ‘time to product’ of new scientific applications with software adapters, enable Open Science with machine composability and dynamic deployment of shared resources, support innovation in EOSC with a testing and integration environment, and align the EOSC Core architecture and specifications to integrate with European dataspaces. The project extends the state of the art of the EOSC Core and adopts a co-design methodology, including requirements elicitation, software development and validation in collaboration with different use cases from EOSC national and regional initiatives (e-Infra CZ, Czechia, NFDI, Germany, and NI4OS, South East Europe region), thematic research infrastructures from Social Sciences and Humanities (CESSDA), Life Sciences (CNB-CSIC and Instruct-ERIC), Environmental Science (ENES and LifeWatch), and Health and Food (METROFood-RI). EOSC Beyond builds on the capacities of prospective EOSC Nodes and partners with multi-annual experience in developing solutions for large-scale federated digital infrastructures and aligns with the technical architecture and requirements of data spaces from different business sectors. Ultimately, EOSC Beyond supports Open Science in modern, data-intensive, and multidisciplinary research, facilitating resource discovery, access, and reuse across scientific communities, organisations, and countries.


Harmonization of Advanced Materials Ecosystems serving strategic Innovation Markets to pave the way to a Digital Materials & Product Passport

The overarching objective of DigiPass is to enhance the digital maturity of the European communities that develop materials and intermediate products. The project will develop recommendations and clear routes toward digitalized circular business models. The overarching key result of DigiPass is to create a sustainable platform which includes support for Digital Materials & Product Passport and for collaborative innovation-by-design processes in a circular economy served by advanced materials. A business model for operating such a platform completes the overarching objective.
DigiPass is harmonizing and synergizing collected materials data sources and digital infrastructures. This will enable interoperability of data exchange, and standardization of advanced materials knowledge representation at all maturity levels. Accelerating the design, development, and production of advanced, safe, and sustainable chemicals and materials, as they are necessary for innovative products, calls for a collaborative approach involving different stakeholders to support durability, repair and overhaul, reuse, and recyclability of products. DigiPass project impacts all materials development communities over the whole circular value chain. 


Enhanced X(cross)-disciplinary Community-driven Imaging Technologies for Earth and Environmental material research

The EXCITE² Network is revolutionizing Earth and environmental material science research by consolidating a critical mass of 18 research facilities in 12 European and associated partner countries into a unified infrastructure and providing transnational access to advanced imaging technologies. This enables scientists to decipher complex processes within Earth materials at scales from nanometres to hundreds of centimetres, gaining unparalleled insight into the chemical and physical processes that govern, among others, environmental toxicity and its impact on human health, critical metal extraction for renewable energies, and the utilisation of Earth materials as long-term storage for climate-altering gases. The consortium fosters knowledge-sharing and talent attraction, bolstering the problem-solving capacity of the European Research Area. Moreover, EXCITE² is driving interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-fertilisation across academic institutions, scientific disciplines, and industry, propelling Europe towards a sustainable future. The initiative offers dedicated training programmes to a new generation of researchers within the European open science landscape, paired with access to world-class imaging facilities and expertise for problem-solving research and innovation. EXCITE² is introducing innovative service developments, such as artificial intelligence and leading-edge imaging experiments, to increase the user's problem-solving capacity. In addition, the consortium is implementing customised project valorisation strategies to maximize the impact of research outcomes in academia, society, and the economy. Citizen science projects allow the public to participate directly within the EXCITE² Network, contributing to solving EU challenges. As such, EXCITE² is paving the way towards a sustainable future, driving scientific excellence, and creating positive societal impact.

Engineering carbon quantum dots for zinc ion hybrid capacitors

Zinc ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs) integrate two energy storage mechanisms of battery-type electrode and capacitive electrode, bearing the advantages in energy density, power density, and safety. Until now, the cycle retention rate of ZIHC's capacity reported is still not more than 80%, restricting its development and commercial application severely. Focusing on the issue, the project aims at overcoming the limitation of traditional electrode materials and re-defining the designing concept to construct Carbon Quantum Dots (C-QDs) for ZIHCs. Advanced methods will be used to harvest carbon quantum dots from coal tar pitch (a sort of industrial solid castoff). The bulk sp2-carbon network, innumerable edge sites, profuse surface functional groups, and regular size ensures that as-synthesis C-QDs have high electrical conductivity, sufficient ion transport channels and rich adsorption sites. Moreover, the new concept of dynamic evolution is introduced for insight into the structure and interface failure of ZIHC's electrode. The interface-reconstruction mechanism and the attenuation model of capacity will be established for the first time. Further, the methods to strengthen structures of C-QD electrode will be developed based on a trade-off strategy. The ultimate goal is to improve the energy storage efficiency of ZIHCs by 20% and to increase their cycle performance more than 95% unprecedentedly. This research will develop long-running high performance ZIHCs, for contributing European energy storage industry. The ER will achieve abundant research experience and scientific skills from the project and the capability to launch her own research group in future.

IMProving User experience, Long-term sustainability and Services of EU-OPENSCREEN

EU-OPENSCREEN (EU-OS), the distributed European Research Infrastructure for Chemical Biology and early drug discovery, provides world-class services in high-throughput compound screening and medicinal chemistry to users from academia and industry. As one of the largest open-access initiative globally, EU-OPENSCREEN plays an increasingly important role in facilitating early stage drug discovery in Europe. It recently integrated fragment-based drug discovery and chemoproteomics as two new services, but the increasing complexity of modern drug discovery projects requires an even more comprehensive portfolio and integration of emerging technologies. To ensure that EU-OS continues to offer a comprehensive suite of relevant services and support a growing user community to conduct forefront research, IMPULSE will develop, validate and integrate new services in AI/ML, new chemical modalities, and innovative disease-relevant cell models combined with CRISPR-Cas9/RNAi-based genetic screening. IMPULSE will work towards the implementation of common operational and data standards to increase data reproducibility and FAIRness. Bespoke outreach and training activities will raise awareness among key user groups of its new services and advance operational excellence and reproducibility in pre-clinical drug discovery. New models for pre-competitive drug discovery with industry or charities, and growing ERIC member community will reinforce the sustainability and accessibility of EU-OPENSCREEN.

Aqua Research Infrastructure Services for the health and protection of our unique, oceans, seas and freshwater ecosystems

AQUARIUS will provide a highly comprehensive suite of integrated research infrastructures appropriate to addressing significant challenges for the long-term sustainability of our unique oceans, seas and freshwater ecosystems. For the first time, diverse research infrastructures will be combined to facilitate the work of researchers and key stakeholders focused on challenges and opportunities for both marine and freshwater systems. An impressive range of 57 research infrastructure services will be made available to include research vessels, mobile marine observation platforms, aircraft,  drones, satellite, sensors, fixed freshwater and marine observatories and test sites, experimental facilities, and sophisticated data infrastructures. AQUARIUS will support the development phase of the EU Mission to Restore our Ocean and waters by 2030, the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, the European Green Deal, and international climate initiatives. It will also be an essential component in achieving the European Digital Twin of the Ocean and the UN Decade for Ocean Sciences. The needs of researchers will be met through a robust and transparent system of transnational access funding Calls, facilitated by centralised user-friendly access portal. The Call programme will be informed through stakeholder engagement and brokerage events. Projects to be selected for Access must convincingly integrate multiple infrastructures and contribute to the core policy objectives of Mission Ocean, that is, to protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity; to prevent and eliminate pollution of our oceans, seas and waters; and to ensure a sustainable, carbon-neutral and circular blue economy. A thematic and geographic focus will be the hallmark of the proposed transnational Calls, aligning with the Lighthouse Regions, that is, the Baltic and the North Sea Basins, Black Sea, Atlantic/Arctic, and Mediterranean Sea along with their associated rivers.

EOSC-ENTRUST: A European Network of TRUSTed research environments

The mission of EOSC-ENTRUST is to create a European network of trusted research environments for sensitive data and to drive European interoperability by joint development of a common blueprint for federated data access and analysis. 
Countries and institutions have made significant investments in secure and trusted data environments to meet the need for research and policy-driven analysis of sensitive datasets such as people's health and socio-economic status, the habitats of vulnerable species and geo-spatial locations of protected sites. There are now a large number of such secure environments in operation - linked to national centres, individual organisations or specific research communities. This fragmented landscape poses challenges for both users and providers: researchers are faced with a large number of different systems and access procedures; providers need to manage federated access across multiple, potentially incompatible, technology and governance frameworks.
EOSC-ENTRUST brings together providers of operational Trusted Research Environments from 15 European countries with a shared goal to implement, validate and promote their capabilities through a common European framework using shared standards and common legal, operational and technical language. This blueprint for interoperability is anchored in the EOSC Interoperability Framework spanning the four dimensions of Legal, Organisational, Technical and Semantic interoperability. EOSC-ENTRUST has identified four driver projects covering Genomics, Clinical trials, Social science, and public-private partnerships to benchmark capabilities, inform blueprint design and demonstrate secure  data analysis using federated workflows.
Targeted outreach activities will expand this open network with further providers and develop policy papers and guidelines for the full range of stakeholders to create a long-term operational TRE framework within the European Open Science Cloud.


Providing research infrastructure services to support Next Generation EU

This four-year project will harness outputs from key social science RIs in Europe and other reliable sources to support the aims of the ‘Next Generation EU’ programme and to inform EU youth policy. Virtual access will be provided to the outputs through special installations (portals) developed during the project. The core of the proposal is a set of existing research ‘services’, which will be re-purposed and customised to focus directly on the five themes: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal. 

For each area, the consortium will work collaboratively to produce seven sets of resources:

i)	A searchable inventory of relevant variables drawn from multiple cross-national datasets; 

ii)	Analytical summaries, suitable for policy makers and analysts new to the field, as well as interactive resources available through the project portal;

iii)	Harmonised and merged extracts from these datasets that reduce the burden on analysts and increase sample sizes;

iv)	New data collected through the ESS’s established CRONOS web panel infrastructure. Eleven countries will field five waves of the panel, each one dedicated to a NextGenEU theme. Free and rapid access to the data will be available through the CRONOS portal alongside analytical summaries;

v)	In-person and virtual deliberative forums with young people (aged 18-34) in four countries covering the five Next Generation EU’ themes;

vi)	An educational tool (E-NextGen) channelling our data for use in classrooms and by the general public;

vii)	Comprehensive training materials related to all project outputs.

In the research project Aquagraph, Searis AS, Eide Fjordbruk AS and SINTEF Ocean will help fish farmers structure their data and aid them in focusing their efforts where it is most needed. All in order to make better decisions for the fish and the business. But how do you make decisions that are optimal for both fish health, environment and sustainability at the same time? The fish farmers make difficult decisions every day, and when an event occurs it is difficult to identify the root cause and figure out how to prevent it from happening again. These are central topics with a major impact on fish, profits and the sustainability, regardless of whether the fish is farmed on land, in a fjord, or in the open sea.

Aquagraph is about using modern computer science methods to structure and visualise interconnections in the data that follows the fish. We wish to structure and order the data with a much higher level of detail, similar to what e.g. Google is doing the internet.

Searis is already collecting operational data from smolt facilities, boats, fish farms and slaughterhouses in their platform Clarify. Aquagraph will build on this foundation and enable new ways of structuring data such that an unbroken time-series datastream, with everything the fish experiences, can be collected. In this way the data can be visualised in new ways, and machine learning can be applied to identify weaknesses, and even opportunities for improvement.

Eide Fjordbruk will provide data, and function as an end-user in the development and testing of the user interface and analysis tools. SINTEF Ocean has years of experience in both technology and biology for the aquaculture industry will contribute with research.

A year into the project, we are well underway to structure the data sources and their interconnections. Going forward, our focus will shift towards implementation of these structures in existing software, and exploring how this can be used to support the production in the industry.

The aquaculture industry generates enormous amounts of data every day. Data comes from sensors in the fish cages, cameras, boats, feeding centrals, but also from e-mails and notes made by the people working on the production sites as veterinarians, farmers, or managers. Large data sets are challenging to navigate and many interconnections will be difficult to detect using today's solutions. Thus, the potential value of the generated data in terms of improving aquaculture production, is still not fully exploited.

The AquaGraph project will create a novel software tool for production optimization and visualisation of complex interconnections in aquaculture data by using graph databases. The project will focus the research activities (RA) towards: RA1: Graph database foundation, RA2: Visualisation of data in graph databases and RA3: Using graph databases to improve aquaculture operations. The developed tool will contribute to digitalization of the aquaculture industry, more optimal production and improved decision support by combining methods from computer science, cybernetics and the precision fish farming concept.

Graph databases for visualisation and optimization of aquaculture production processes

Dyrking av sekkedyr har stort potensial som kilde til marine proteiner. Tidligere forsøk har vist at det er mulig å produsere store mengder tunikater på et lite areal. For å kunne kommersialisere produksjon av sekkedyr er det nødvendig å utvikle høstemeto der som er effektive.

For å kunne bruke biomassen som fôr-råver er det nødvendig å finne teknisk og økonomisk gode løsninger for prosessering av biomasse etter at den er høstet.Dette prosjektet har som mål å verifisere effektive metoder for høsting og pr osessering av tunikater.

Tunikater,-Utvikling av effektive høste og prosessmetoder for nye produkter.

Tunicate ascidians. A new marine biomass

Chitinet utgjør bare ca 24 % av råstoffet, mens proteinet utgjør ca 36 %. Dette proteinet har høy næringsverdi og inneholder mange interessante bioaktive stoffer som kan bli verdifulle ingredienser i funksjonell mat. Skallet inneholder også det verdifulle  fargestoffet astaxanthin som beskytter olje mot oksidasjon og er det naturlige fargestoffet som brukes i laksefôr. Både protein og astaxanthin går tapt ved kjemisk rensing av rekeskall. 

Fiskeriforskning har vist at mesteparten av proteinet og ca 40 % a v astaxanthinet kan utvinnes etter en kort behandling med et rimelig komersielt enzym. Tidligere arbeidet er utført i liten skala, men det er grunn til å tro at prosessen skal kunne oppskaleres til industriell skala uten store investeringer. Hydrolysetank  og dekantersentrifuge vil være hovedelementene i en slik oppskaleringsprosess. Fiskeriforskning har tilgang på slikt utstyr i prosesslaboratoriet som nylig er etablert ved instituttet. Første prøvefase av oppskaleringen vil derfor bli utført her. I først e omgang vil vi benytte kjent, komersielt enzym, men i neste fase vil vi undersøke om gode resultater kan oppnås også ved bruk av oppmalte torsketarmer som enzympreparat. Dersom dette lykkes, vil det både bety økomomisk innsparing og økt råstoffutnyttelse .

Proteinhydrolysatet kan lett separeres fra en liten astaxanthinrik (ca 1500 ppm) fettfraksjon ved sentrifugering. Nergård Reker vil gjøre markedsundersøkelser både når det gjelder hydrolysat og fettfraksjon, og dette vil bli et nyttig styringsredskap i  siste fase av prosjektet, der Fiskeriforsknings arbeid i hovedsak vil konsentrere seg om bestemmelse av hydrolysatets sensoriske egenskaper, innhold av bioaktive stoffer og hydrolysatets verdi som næringskilde for forskjellige mikroorganismer. Både prote inutbytte i hydrolysat og hydrolysatets egenskaper er avhengige av hydrolysebetingelsene, og justeringer kan gjøres ut fra hvilke produktegenskaper som etterspørres i markedet.

Økt utnyttelse av hode/skallfraksjonen av reker til mat, bioaktive peptider og verdifulle næringsingredienser

Matallergikere må unngå mat som inneholder de allergene proteinene de reagerer på. Dersom proteinene er hydrolyserte, skal de likevel teoretisk kunne spises uten at det kan oppstå allergisk reaksjon. Slike såkalte hypoallergene produkter som per definisjo n 90 % av matallergikerne ikke vil reagere på, er utviklet for melk. Proteinhydrolysater av storfe, høns, gjær, planter og fisk er i bruk som smaksforsterkere i næringsmidler, men det mangler dokumentasjon på om disse er hypoallergene for de respektive kj øttallergikerne.   
Man antar at 2-4 % av den voksne befolkningen har en form for matallergi, og 85% av disse er antatt å reagere på peanøtter, nøtter eller sjømat. Seagarden AS er den eneste produsenten av fiskeproteinhydrolysater i Norge. Ved å kunne do kumentere at disse er hypoallergene, kan disse poduktene også tilbys allergikere.   
Gjennom et samarbeid med Veterinærinstituttet og klinikere fra Haukeland Universitetssykehus Universitetet i Bergen og BKL Voksentoppen Rikshospitalet skal fiskehydrolysa ter produsert av Seagarden AS ved ulike betingelser (enzym, pH, temperatur)   defineres i form av in vitro og in vivo allergenisitet. Metodene som skal benyttes involverer immunologiske tester og hud prikktest av hydrolysater i fiskeallergikere. MEtodene er allerede i bruk i et NFR-støttet SIPprosjekt 'Development of a coordinated research programme into food allergen identification, modification and in vivo responses' (NFR 2003-08).  Prosjektet vil gå over et år og komme Seagarden AS til nytte i videreut viklingen og markedsføringen av et fiskeprodukt til menneskekonsum av råstoff som ellers i stor grad går direkte til fiskefôr. Resultatene vil ha vitenskapelig nytteverdi som informasjon om sammenheng mellom in vitro reaksjon mellom IgE i serum, klinisk h udrespons og mulighet for å identifisere allergene epitoper. Denne kunnskapen vil bli videre utnyttet både i den omtalte SIP og i annet  pågående NFR-prosjekt ved Veterinærinstituttet.

Nedbrytning av allergene fiskeproteiner i industrielt prosesserte fiskeprodukter.

Fiskelarver har et særlig stort behov for aminosyrer på grunn av sitt store vekstpotensiale og bruken av aminosyrer som energisubstrat. Det finnes imidlertid lite tilgjengelig kunnskap om den spesifikke fordøyelighet av ulike proteinkilder i marine fiskel arver. Dårlig utnyttelse av vekstpotensialet til fiskelarver fôret på formulerte fôr kan derfor være et resultat av dårlig fordøyelighet av diettproteinene som anvendes. Fordøyelighet av proteiner varierer som funksjon av proteinenes struktur og form. Det  kan derfor finnes bestemte kriterier for fordøyelighet av proteiner i marine fiskelarver. Løselighet kan være et slikt kriterium.
Proteiners fordøyelighet kan påvirkes av eventuell prosessering og hvilke fôr-formuleringsteknikker som benyttes. Spesifikk kunnskap om fordøyelighet av proteinkilder, proteinpreparater og formulerte fôr i typiske marine fiskelarver aktuell for oppdrett er ettertraktet. Og i den grad økt kunnskap på dette området vil gi mer effektive formulerte fôr med tanke på fordøyelighet o g tilgjengelighet av aminosyrer, vil dette videre kunne bidra til raskere vekst i larvefasen og eliminering av behovet for levende fôr med dertil reduserte produksjonskostnader.

Arbeidet gjennomføres på tre nivåer
1.	Proteinkilders spesifikke fordøyeligh et i larver fra torsk og kveite
2.	Effekt av prosessering på fordøyelighet av protein i larver fra torsk og kveite
3.	Effekt av fôr-formuleringsteknikk på proteinfordøyelighet og lekkasje.

Proteinutnyttelse i marine fiskelarver; studier av spesifikk proteinfordøyelighet i marine larver med tanke på utvikling av et formulert fôr

Ett av hovedproblemene innen produksjon av nye oppdrettsarter er å tilføre et egnet fôr i startfôringsfasen. I dag anvendes det kun levende fôr til artemia, rotatorier eller naturlig dyreplankton ved startfôring. Det er ingen som til nå har fremstilt et f ormulert fôr som kan brukes til startfôr av marine fiskelarver. Maripro AS har utviklet en prinsippielt helt ny metode for fremstilling av startfôr. Metoden er patentsøkt. Prosjektet tar sikte på å utvikle metoden slik at en finner frem til et fôr som har  de tekniske og ernæringsmessige egenskaper som gjør at fôret fullt ut kan erstatte levende fôr. Det gjenstår en del utfordringer på det ernæringsmessige området. Spesielt gjelder dette optimalisering av aminosyrer, vitaminer og mineraler. Det vil også væ re en utfordring å finne frem til de rette råvarene til fettsyrer. Fremstilling av et fôr som kan erstatte bruk av levende fôr vil medføre et gjennombrudd i produksjon av nye oppdrettsarter.
