His research interests lie at the intersection of computational mechanics and practical structural engineering, particularly in the optimization and safety assessment of reinforced concrete structures. He has made significant contributions to the development of numerical methods for limit analysis, structural optimization, and full-scale testing of precast concrete systems. His work supports the design of durable, modifiable, and sustainable building components.

The recent articles reflect a strong trend towards integrating computational modeling with experimental validation, especially in precast concrete shear walls, elastoplastic grillages, and serviceability-driven design. His research emphasizes structural efficiency, safety, and adaptability for future modifications, aligning with circular economy principles in construction.

Peter Noe Poulsen has supervised numerous PhD students and research projects, demonstrating a strong commitment to academic mentorship and collaborative research. He has been actively involved in guiding projects related to structural optimization, finite element model updating, and rigid plastic modeling, often in collaboration with industry and international partners.

He has contributed to several datasets from full-scale tests on precast concrete shear walls and keyed connections, which support open science and reproducible research. These datasets are publicly available through DTU’s data repository and have been used in both academic and practical engineering contexts.
