Jesper Thøger Christensen

Jesper Thøger Christensen is a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology at Aalborg University, under the Technical Faculty of IT and Design. His work bridges architecture and engineering through computational and parametric design tools.

Research Interests:

• Parametric and computational design methodologies
• Integration of structural analysis in early architectural design
• Development of digital tools for design exploration
• Timber joint design and structural integration
• Responsive building envelopes and shape control systems

His research leverages digital environments such as Rhino Grasshopper to enable real-time finite element analysis and interactive design feedback, supporting both pedagogy and professional practice.

Publication Trends: His publications since 2010 show a consistent focus on merging architectural design with structural engineering, particularly through parametric tools. Recent work extends into computer vision applications, such as semantic segmentation for golf course analysis, indicating interdisciplinary reach beyond traditional architecture.
