Morten Omholt Alver

Morten Omholt Alver is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His primary affiliation is with the Ocean Biocybernetics research group, where he focuses on mathematical model development, ocean modeling, and data assimilation. He holds both his MSc and PhD from the same department at NTNU.

His key qualifications include expertise in individual-based energetic models, population models, instrumentation/automation in marine aquaculture, and programming/software development. He has extensive experience with oceanographic model systems (SINMOD, ROMS) and meteorological models (WRF), contributing to module development within SINMOD. His work in cage aquaculture involves modeling fish behavior, growth, feed distribution, and dissolved oxygen levels.

Competencies span aquaculture systems, mathematical modeling techniques, and oceanographic research. While no specific grants or awards are listed, his research emphasizes interdisciplinary applications of cybernetics in marine environments.
