My research focus is machine learning engineering, focusing on medical data analysis (Medical AI).
Most of my activities are related to the Mohn Medical Imaging and Visualization Centre
at the Department of Radiology, Haukeland University Hospital, funded by the Trond Mohn Foundation. I am part of the center's leadership team
and lead the Medical AI group.
- At the MMIV I am co-PI of the project Computational medical imaging and machine learning – methods,
infrastructure and applications, funded by the Trond Mohn Foundation (2018–2022). The project involves many researchers in Bergen,
both clinical and methodological, in addition to national and international collaborators.
- Co-PI in a machine learning work package in the Digital Life Norway project
Towards better computational approaches and responsible innovation strategies in
early drug discovery – application to antibiotics and COPD
2019–2023, led by Nathalie Reuter from UiB.
- Part of the project leadership and PI in a machine learning work package in
WIML: Workflow-integrated machine learning
at the MMIV, funded by the Norwegian Research Council (2020–2024).
- PI of a work package in the project
AI-Support in Medical Emergency Calls: The AISMEC-project,
funded by the Norwegian Research Council (2022–2025), led by Guttorm Brattebø from Helse Bergen HF and KoKom.
- Part of the coordinating team of the Norwegian research network
PRESIMAL: Precision imaging and machine learning for
better patient care, funded by Nasjonal samarbeidsgruppe for helseforskning i spesialisthelsetjenesten (2021-2023), with partners from all the health regions
in Norway and their universities.
- Co-PI in a work package of the project Imaging biomarkers for precision medicine in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), led by
Cecilie Brekke Rygh from HVL, funded by the Western Norway
Regional Health Authority (2020–2022). The main objective of the project is to evaluate the role of PET and PET-derived predictive
imaging biomarkers in assessing early treatment response in AML patients to improve overall outcomes.
- Member of the project Precision imaging in gynecologic cancer at
MMIV, led by prof. dr. med.
Ingfrid Haldorsen. The aim of the project is to integrate imaging biomarkers into clinically relevant treatment
algorithms for gynecologic cancers.
- Member of the project Disrupt, potentiate and rewire — a novel framework for understanding electroconvulsive therapy at
MMIV, led by Leif Oltedal
, financed by the Western Norway Regional Health Authority.
- Member of the project Deep learning in image diagnostics: transfer learning and active learning for efficient use of data and radiological expertise at
MMIV, led by Sathiesh Kaliyugarasan, financed by the Western Norway Regional Health Authority (2020-2023).
- Member of the project From cognitive aging to dementia — a longitudinal imaging-based machine learning approach,
led by Alexandra Vik, financed by the Western Norway Regional Health Authority (2020-2023).
- Part of Kunstig intelligens i norsk helsetjeneste (KIN), a national network
for artificial intelligence in health care. I was part of the coordinating team of the network in the period 2020—2022.
-
Head of the project group in an AI committee established by Helse Vest RHF. The goal is to investigate machine learning based software solutions
for imaging diagnostic support that could potentially be useful in the established radiological workflow in Helse Vest.
-
Member of a committee established by the Faculty of Medicine, UiB. Our report (Aug. 2020) proposed a plan for establishing Medical AI as a cross-institutional
and cross-disciplinary field of research, innovation and education in Bergen.
At the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) I am part of Computer Science: Software Engineering,
Sensor Networks and Engineering Computing, the Health Informatics
research group, the Data Science & AI group,
and the multidisciplinary research group
Idrett, Helse og Funksjon (Sports, health and function).
I'm also a "Secondary Proposer" for the COST action PARENCHIMA: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers for Chronic Kidney Disease, OC-2016-1-20493).
