Kristina Thomassen

Kristina Thomassen is a Consultant at the Department of the Built Environment, Faculty of Engineering and Science, Aalborg University. Her work focuses on geotechnical engineering, particularly soil-structure interaction under cyclic loading conditions in offshore wind foundations.

Research interests include:

• Geotechnical risk analysis
• Offshore wind turbine foundations
• Cyclic loading effects on pile stability
• Soil degradation in deep water environments
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions for soft soils
• Laboratory-scale testing of geotechnical systems

Her publications since 2009 demonstrate expertise in pile testing, soil mechanics, and offshore wind foundation dynamics, with experimental studies on sand-soil interactions dominating her work. Recent outputs include 2024 contributions to climate change adaptation in geotechnics.

Collaborative projects (e.g., 2011-2014 PhD study on wind turbine foundations) highlight teamwork with colleagues like Lars Bo Ibsen and Lars V. Andersen. She has produced 22 total publications, including reports, peer-reviewed journal articles, and technical studies.
