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.

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.

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.

Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society

Piezoelektrisitet er fenomenet at enkelte materialer kan reagere elektrisk på en mekanisk påvirkning, eller alternativt mekanisk på en elektrisk påvirkning. For eksempel kan en bit av et piezoelektrisk materiale deformeres når setter en elektrisk spenning over den. Denne koblingen mellom det elektriske og det mekaniske domenet har gjort mange elektroniske komponenter mulig. Noen velkjente eksempler på bruksområder er kvartskrystallresonatorer i kvartsur, prober brukt i ultralyddiagnostikk og blekkskriverhoder. De mange teknologiske anvendelsene gjør piezoelektriske komponenter interessante forskningsemner innen ingeniørvitenskap og økonomisk viktige for mange bedrifter. Det er et betydelig antall høyteknologiske selskaper i Norge som har piezoelektriske komponenter som en del av kjerneteknologien sin. De omfatter så forskjellige områder som signalbehandling i satellitter, sonarer, medisinsk diagnostikk og selvfokuserende linser.

Hovedformålet med dette strategiske prosjektet er å styrke piezoelektriske komponenter som et forskningsemne ved Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge. Vi har tre fokusområder for prosjektet. Det ene er piezoelektriske tynne filmer for høy-ytelse analog signalbehandling. Vi studerer nye metoder for å designe og produsere komponenter basert på tynne piezoelektriske filmer. Et annet er elektroniske grensesnitt til piezoelektriske transdusere for å muliggjøre levering av effekt til elektroniske enheter ved hjelp av ultralyd. Det tredje er tynnfilmbaserte aktuatorer i optiske systemer slik som kameraer.

Akustisk overflatebølgeresonatorer av aluminiumnitrid på safir er fabrikert og karakterisert. Målinger etter høytemperaturbehandling viser en forbedring i krystalliniteten til aluminiumnitridfilmen. En utfordring med høytemperaturbehandling er oksidasjon som følge av at den beskyttende atmosfæren (nitrogen) ikke er helt fri for oksygen. En optimaliserings av prosessen ble derfor gjort for å redusere graden av oksidasjon. Det ble også utviklet en prosess for membranpreparering på silisumsubstrat som kan implementeres for videre bruk i akustiske bulkbølgestrukturer. Teoretiske modeller har blitt utviklet for å estimere geometri og lagtykkelse for temperaturstabile resonatorer og for å simulere elektriske i en spesiell struktur kalt XBAR-struktur.

Arbeidet med akustisk effektoverføring har fokusert på vekkerkretser for undervannssensoren og resultater er publisert. Den ene løsningen har et ideellt effektforbruk i nanowattområdet hvilket er det laveste som er rapportert i litteraturen. Det har vært jobbet mye med modellering og optimalsiering kretsløsninger for vekkerkretsene. Mye av dette arbeidet er nå publisert. De lovende kretsene er lagt ut og fabrikert i en ekstern tjeneste. Det er bygget et nytt testoppsett for akustisk effektoverføring med piezoelektriske transdusere som gir oss mulighet for å teste et bredt utvalg konfigurasjoner. Integrerte kretser har vært fabrikert og testet i to runder der vi har demonstrert ultralaveffekt vekkerkretser sensornoder plassert under vann og nye lav-effekt trigger-kretser.

Ny teori for antiklastisk deformasjon av piezoelektriske bjelker under store avbøyninger er utviklet og publisert. Karakterisering og modellering av piezoelektriske tynnfilmstransdusere har blitt utført for en rekke elektrodestrukturer. Strukturer med elektroder mønstret på begge sider av den piezoelektriske filmen avslørte unormal elektrisk oppførsel. En ny, effektiv metode for karakterisering av vibrasjonsmoduser i aktuatorer som krever måling kun i noen få punkter er utviklet.

Det er utviklet nytt materiale om piezoelektriske akselerometere og piezoelektriske resonatorer for et mastergradsemne. Videre er det gjort litt pensumutvikling i et avansert emne om piezoelektriske komponenter. Utvikling av laboppgaver om piezoelektriske komponenter til emnene våre har vært problematisk på grunn av pandemien, men det har vært mulig å involvere master- og bachelorstudenter i noen av forskningsproblemene. Noe av dette er formidlet også ved åpne foredrag. Vi har i tillegg tilbudt en problemstilling til en elevgruppe fra VGS som en formidlingsaktivitet.

Arbeidet ble utført ved Institutt for Mikrosystemer, Campus Vestfold i samarbeid med tre selskaper i Horten og andre forskningsinstitusjoner, både i inn-og utland.

The piezoelectric effect was discovered by Pierre and Jacques Curie in 1880 and is the phenomenon that some materials experience an electrical polarization change when a mechanical stress is applied. This is called the direct effect. A piezoelectric material also exhibits the converse effect, which is that it deforms when an electrical field is applied. This coupling between the electrical and the mechanical domain has made numerous electronic devices possible. Best known among laypersons is probably the quartz-crystal
resonator that has been the basis for quartz watches for several decades. The probes used in ultrasound diagnosis are usually also based on piezoelectric materials.  

The numerous technological applications make piezoelectric devices interesting research subjects in the engineering sciences and economically important for many businesses. There is a significant number of high-technology companies in Norway that have piezoelectric devices as part of their core technology. They encompass as diverse applications as signal processing in satellites, sonars,  medical diagnostics and tunable lenses. In this project, we have chosen three focus-areas for study. One is piezoelectric thin-films for higher performance analog signal processing where the challenge is to simultaneously have low loss, strong coupling and high frequency. Another is electronic interfaces to piezoelectric transducers in order to enable remote powering of electronics devices by ultrasonic power transfer.  This approach has challenges connected to effectiveness and low-power operation. The third is thin-film transducers for sensors and actuators  where better models are needed in order to extract material parameters and improve designs, and where new ways to make the transducers are of interest.

Advanced Piezoelectric Devices

Norge har et betydelig potensial for  utnyttelse av off-shore vindkraft. En hovedutfordring på både kort og mellomlang sikt har blitt identifisert som det å gjøre teknologien mer robust og å vesentlig redusere kostnadene. En betydelig andel av levetidskostnaden til et off-shore anlegg er drift og vedlikehold. Det foreligger et  potensial til å  redusere disse kostnadene vesentlig ved bruk av tilstandsovervåking som muliggjør en overgang fra periodisk vedlikehold  til vedlikehold etter behov. Dette krever utplassering av et stort antall trådløse sensorer på turbinbladene og i girkassen til generatorene. Sensorene trenger strøm, men batterier er problematiske på grunn av størrelse og temperaturforhold. Det er derfor behov for å undersøke alternative energikilder for slike sensorer.

Dette prosjektet består av grunnleggende forskning innen mikrosystemteknologi, spesielt mikroskala energihøsting og energilagring. Det fokuserer på utforskning av mikro- og nanoteknologiløsninger som muliggjør høyt miniatyriserte sensornoder som er selvforsynt med strøm og tilpasset for  bruk i tilstandsovervåking av energianlegg slik som off-shore vindmølleparker. Dette søkes oppnådd ved å 1) undersøke nye måter å konstruere mikrogeneratorer med høy ytelse som også kan fungere som en plattform for å integrere hele systemet på en chip og 2) utvikle teknologi for energilagring som egner seg for integrasjon i generator-brikken.

I den første fasen av prosjektet ble det  arbeidet med  etablering av prosesser for fabrikasjon av elektreter som er isolerende materialer som har ladning "fanget'' inne i seg,  utprøving av nanostrukturerte superkondsatorløsninger  for  energilagring og etablering av matematiske modeller for mikrogeneratorer. Dette ble brukt som grunnlag for fase 2. I denne fasen er komponenter designet, modellert og fremstilt. For superkondensatorer har vi benyttet en plasmaprosess for å lage Si-gress med nanopillarer som støttestruktur. Prosesser ble utviklet for katalytisk grafen og karbon-nanorør-vekst på Si-gresset. En metode ble utviklet for å deponere pseudokondensatormaterialer på forskjellige mikro- og nanohybridstrukturer som gir med stor overflateøkning. Spesifikke kapasitanser på 200 mF / cm2 for kondensatorer basert på elektroniske dobbeltlag og 800mF / cm2 for pseudosuperkondensatorer ble oppnådd. Prosjektet har tyve publikasjoner, flere patentsøknader og tiltak for kommersialisering av resultatene.

Norway has a considerable potential for expansion in the area
of off-shore wind power generation. The main challenge on both short and intermediately long time-scales has been identified as making the technology more robust and substantially reducing the  cost. A major fraction of the life-cycle cost is operation and maintenance. It has the potential to be substantially reduced by use of condition monitoring that allows a transition from periodic maintenance to on-demand replacement or repair. This require s the deployment
of a large number of wireless sensor nodes in the turbine blades and gear boxes of the power plants. The sensors need power, but batteries are problematic due to size and operating conditions.

This project consists of basic research with in the fields of micro energy harvesting and energy storage. The project  will promote scientific innovation and advancement through development of technology for self-powered microsystems bringing this field a significant step forward. It focuses on expl oration and development of micro- and nano-technology solutions that enable highly miniaturized self-powered sensor nodes for use in condition monitoring in energy production facilities such as off-shore wind power plants. 

The project is a collaboration  between Vestfold University College and SINTEF.

Integrated micro power for condition-monitoring in energy production facilities

There is a big world wide effort on the development of energy scavenging devices to power wireless electronics. The research activities have demonstrated that this type of devices has a great potential for applications that can be driven by a few microwat ts. The basic motivation behind the field
is to prolong or even eliminate maintenance cycles of sensor systems by recharging batteries using electrical power harvested from the environment and ultimately replace batteries altogether in certain application s.

By removing the need for batteries and manufacturing the energy harvesting devices using modern cost effective microfabrication technologies, it is a hope to obtain low cost environment friendly components that contribute to smaller system size and ma intenance free operation. One of the most promising sources of energy is ambient vibrations in structures and machinery, i.e. energy harvesting from motion.

Current prototype devices are generally quite narrow banded and therefore incapable of responding  efficiently to motion that is wide banded, vary in frequency over time or is sensitive to environmental boundary conditions. 

The primary objective of this project is  to establish motion energy harvester device concepts that can perform better than cur rent resonant devices under realistic operationg conditions. This will be accomplished by investigating new energy harvester device concepts that can extract power from a wider band of the excitation signal than conventional designs or alternatively show  a wider tolerance to frequency variations.
