Morten Omholt Alver

Morten Omholt Alver is an Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), affiliated with the Department of Technical Cybernetics. His work primarily focuses on marine biocybernetics, integrating mathematical modeling, data assimilation, and oceanographic research to advance aquaculture and marine environmental monitoring.

• Deputy Head of Research at the Department of Technical Cybernetics
• Program advisor for the PhD program in Technical Cybernetics

Research interests span aquaculture systems, oceanographic modeling, and adaptive robotic sampling. Recent work emphasizes digital twin technologies for aquaculture optimization and dissolved oxygen modeling in salmon farms. His methodological contributions include data assimilation techniques for skewed oceanic variables and multiscale simulations of aquaculture effluents.

Publications highlight collaborations with interdisciplinary teams across Europe. Key projects involve precision fish farming frameworks, hyperspectral imaging, and environmental monitoring systems for marine industries. He also contributes to kelp cultivation automation and coastal ecosystem modeling.
