Lorentz is a masterstudent on Environmental Molecular Biology at UiT. In his master he is collaborating with the algae cultivation company Polaralge AS and will explore whether hyperspectral imaging can be used to detect mineral composition and quantities of sugar kelp. He wants to explore the potential of this technology as a tool to assess quantities and quality of kelp in order to optimize cultivation and production methods, timing of harvesting and post harvest managing of sugar kelp.
