Jens Christofer Werenskiold

Jens Christofer Werenskiold serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Faculty of Engineering. His office is located in Kjemi 1, room 325, at the Gløshaugen campus in Trondheim.

Professor Werenskiold's research focuses on advanced materials processing techniques, particularly severe plastic deformation methods including Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) and metal screw extrusion for aluminum alloys. His work investigates microstructure evolution, grain refinement mechanisms, and nanoparticle applications in aluminum welding technologies. Recent research emphasizes TiC nanoparticle inoculation in filler wires and metal screw extrusion processes for enhancing aluminum weld properties.

His publication record shows consistent output since completing his doctoral dissertation in 2004, with recent increased activity in 2022-2024. The 2024 literature review in Metals demonstrates his recognized expertise in metal extrusion technologies. Professor Werenskiold maintains strong collaborative relationships, particularly with Hans Jørgen Roven and Geir Langelandsvik.

As an educator, he teaches TMT4178 - Applied Materials Technology and TMT4240 - Microstructure and Properties of Metals. His supervision of multiple Master's theses indicates active engagement in graduate education, with students researching aluminum TiC nano-composites, weld metal refinement, and extrusion processes.

Professor Werenskiold regularly presents research at international conferences including the International Conference on Light Materials and NANOSPD series, demonstrating his active participation in the global materials science community. His work bridges fundamental materials science with practical industrial applications in aluminum processing and welding technologies.
