Kristian Ladefoged Ebbehøj

Kristian Ladefoged Ebbehøj serves as an Industrial Postdoc in Solid Mechanics at the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on advanced vibration analysis and damping estimation techniques for complex engineering systems.

His primary research interests include structural dynamics of wind turbines, nonstationary system behavior, and Gaussian process modeling for vibration analysis. Key specializations involve short-term damping prediction in fluid-loaded structures and wind turbine systems under operational variability, with emphasis on environmental impact mitigation and real-time monitoring solutions.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in time-varying vibrating structures, where he develops model-based methods for damping estimation under nonstationary conditions. His work bridges theoretical dynamics with practical wind energy applications, particularly in blade vibration control and fluid-structure interaction phenomena.

Scientific contributions include:

• Experimental validation of damping estimation methods for wind turbines (2024)
• Short-term model-based damping prediction for fluid-loaded structures (PhD thesis, 2024)
• Gaussian process time series models for operational variability compensation (2023)

His research program 'Short-term model-based damping prediction for fluid-loaded structures' (2021-2024) involved collaboration with supervisors J.J. Thomsen, J.B. Høgsberg, and P. Couturier, with examination by A. Brandt and K. Worden. The project generated significant academic output with 7 publications including journal articles and conference proceedings, demonstrating strong industry relevance through the 'Industrial Postdoc' position.
