Yngve Heggelund is a senior researcher at NORCE Energy and Technology in the Digital Systems group. He has a PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Bergen. He started working at Christian Michelsen Research in 2001, and he has a special interest in software development, data analysis, data processing, modelling, simulations, and data science in general.
He focuses on several application areas, including processing and the analysis of fiber optic measurements (DAS), and the processing and interpretation of marine acoustic data. Since 2009, several of his projects have been focused on offshore wind
energy. He has been a member of the FME-center NORCOWE (Norwegian Centre for Offshore Wind) since the start in 2009—an FME-center for research on offshore wind energy. Since this, he has lead and participated in projects dealing with different aspects of offshore wind energy and undertaken decision support for installation (DECOFF), fast wake simulations (NORCOWE, CONWIND), wind measurements (COTUR), and simulation of energy systems concerning the electrification of offshore oil and gas installations using wind energy (ELOGOW).
Martha Lien received a PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Bergen in 2005. Following this, she worked as a post-doctoral researcher and subsequently senior researcher at Uni Research. In 2013, she transitioned to the subsea industry, initially as a senior geophysicist in OCTIO AS, then from 2017 as CEO of a spin-off company (MonViro AS), and following the company's acquisition in 2022, she held the position of Director of Environmental Monitoring at Reach Subsea. She returned to research joining NORCE in 2024. Through her background in research and more than ten years in the private sector, her experience extends from data analysis and numerical modeling to fostering innovation and working with business development. She has broad experience with project management in significant industry projects as well as in research initiatives in cooperation with academic institutions. Her primary research interests include numerical modeling, data assimilation, the integrated interpretation of multiple data types, and optimal control problems.
