Morten A. Rasmussen
I obtained a Msc in Food Science and Technology in 2007 and a PhD in Chemometrics in 2012 from University of Copenhagen. My focus is to brigde statistics with applied food- and Health science, and I have visited statistics departments at Stanford (2010) and Harvard (2015) to complement my profile in this regard. My research focuses on development and application of mathematical and statistical models for integration of high dimensional heterogeneous data characterizing a biological system, especially with focus on untargeted metabolomics and microbiome within food and Health. The development of high throughput analytical platforms have seeded a need for data analytical tools for integration of these heterogeneous data. Such tools should produce reliable and interpretable models. In my research we have developed tools for integration of multiple data sources, especially focusing on parameter sparsity yielding models that are often more robust but merely easier to interpret. We have done this for longitudinal sensitization patterns in childhood, immunological profiles related to asthma, plasma-metabolomics for prediction of breast cancer several years ahead, longitudinal progression of newly diagnosed type I diabetes in children and the early life microbiome in relation to development of chronic childhood disorders.

Sergey Kucheryavskiy
Born in 1976 in no more existing country, USSR. Defended PhD in Physics and Mathematics in 2001 and right after that he took a break and was not active as a researcher for several years. In 2004 started rebooting his carrier and decided to change research interests towards Chemometrics. He started from the scratch in 2007 as assistant professor at AAU and has been gradually developing his career as chemometrician since then.
In his spare time Sergey works on various pet-projects. Thus, from 2013 he has been developing R package “mdatools” for multivariate data analysis and preprocessing with one-two major releases every year. The results of these activities can be found at https://mda.tools and his GitHub https://github.com/svkucheryavski
Anders Krogh Mortensen
Anders Krogh Mortensen (AKM) recieved his MSc (Information Technology) from Dept. of Engineering, Aarhus University in 2014, and completed his PhD in 2018 at Dept. of Agroecology, Aarhus University. He is currently in his last year of his 4 year postdoc at Dept. of Agroecology, Aarhus University, where his research areas are computer vision and deep learning in an agricultural setting. His work includes extracting information and building classification and regression models collected from RGB-, multispectral-, stereovision-cameras and LiDARs mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles, field robots and tractors in the field as well as multi- and hyperspectral cameras in the laboratory. This includes writing software to integrate the sensors, extracting features from the sensor data, and calibrating/training models using both hand-crafted features and raw data in data-driven approaches (deep learning). Much of this work is performed in the free and open-source programming language Python. AKM is also a proponent for open-source and therefore shares as much of his work as possible on his Github page: https://github.com/anderskm
