Ragnar Nortvedt
Curriculum Vitae
I have many years experience as researcher (Master in 1987, PhD in 1997) and as 1183 researcher (since year 2000) and professor within fish feed formulation, nutrition, fish welfare and slaughter quality from IMR, NIFES and University of Bergen (1987 - 2008). In 2008 - 2012 I held two positions as Quality Manager and Director having responsabilities for product quality and food safety in the aquaculture industry and I managed a research consortium in medical image analysis and visualization (2012 - 2017) at Haukeland University Hospital. I was head of Matre Research Station (1211 Section manager) in the period 2017 - 2024. From April 2024 I returned to my previous position as senior research scientist in the Feed & Nutrition research group in Bergen. Lately I have become more focused on applications and ethical considerations on the applications of artificial intelligence, and I am following a course at UiB in AI during the autumn semester 2024. High mobility by working two periods at Matre, one period in Austevoll and two periods in Bergen is one of my key qualifications. I have also contributed as Manager of IK Akva at IMR for seven years and been member of the Miljøfyrtårn group for three years. Moreover, International tasks: I have managed two international committees through NOKUT to evaluate 1) The Master program and 2) The PhD program at the University College in Bodø before they became Nord University. I have been western coordinator of the 1st International Chemometric Conference in Zhangiage in China (1996), had six months sabattical at Pacific Biological Statiion in Nanaimo, Canada (2001) and worked as technical advisor for NORAD at University of Fisheries in NhaTrang, Vietnam (2004 - 2008). I have had a one year 20 % adjunct position as program coordinator in NRC (1998) and as 20 % researcher at Nofima Ingredients in Kjerreidviken (2008).
