Jørgen Nielsen

Jørgen Nielsen is an Adjunct Professor in Civil Engineering at Aalborg University's Department of the Built Environment, affiliated with the Building Physics Research Group. He specializes in structural engineering, construction defects, and buildability, with a focus on risk evaluation and climate adaptation in buildings. His work spans projects like analyzing social housing construction costs and standardization, defects in construction processes, and cylindrical silo pressure dynamics.

Notable collaborations include projects addressing building defects strategies (2005-2009), technical documentation standards (2012), and climate-resilient construction practices. He has participated in over 36 professional activities, including lectures on climate impacts on buildings and granular material behavior.

• Key projects: Social Housing Cost Analysis (2018-2021), Silo Pressure Theory (2016-2017)
• Research areas: Structural defects, construction output evaluation, risk management
• Media engagements: Commented on building safety regulations and high-rise construction controversies
