Alexander Horsch

Alexander Horsch is a full-time Professor at the Department of Informatics, UiT The Arctic University of Norway. His research bridges Artificial Intelligence with Medical Imaging, Biosignal Analysis, and Public Health Informatics, with a focus on Accelerometer Data Processing and Machine Learning Applications in healthcare.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in:

• Accelerometer-based Physical Activity Monitoring (e.g., Automatic time in bed detection, Sedentary time estimation)
• Deep Learning Architecture (e.g., packetLSTM, GUNet++, Aux-Drop)
• Interpretability in AI (e.g., Propagating Transparency, T-MIS: Transparency Adaptation)
• Biomedical Applications (e.g., Virtual Labeling of Mitochondria, Digital Staining)

Collaborations span multiple institutions through projects like:

• VirtualStain - AI solutions for label-free biomedical imaging
• ACTIHEALTH - Physical activity epidemiology in Arctic populations
• Fit Futures - Adolescent health cohort studies

He actively participates in research groups including:

• Computational Analytics and Intelligence (CAI)
• Health Informatics and Technology (HIT)
• High North Population Studies
