Hans Holger Hundborg Koss is an Associate Professor in the Section for Structures and Safety within the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Kgs. Lyngby. His work bridges structural engineering, environmental dynamics, and advanced materials, with strong emphasis on experimental and numerical simulation techniques. He leads research in wind engineering, atmospheric icing, urban climate, and sustainable construction via 3D printing. PhD in Civil Engineering, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany (2000) Master of Civil Engineering, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany (1994) European Research Network (HCM) on Wind Engineering, CSTB Nantes & DMI Lyngby (1994) His research focuses on wind effects on structures , particularly high-rise buildings and cable-supported bridges, using wind tunnel testing and computational fluid dynamics. He investigates atmospheric icing on bridge cables and wind turbine blades, including thermodynamic behavior of smart icephobic surfaces. His work extends into urban environmental engineering , assessing wind and thermal comfort, snow accumulation in Arctic regions, and exhaust dispersion. More recently, he has pioneered research in 3D additive manufacturing of structural components and developed biopolymer-based composites as sustainable building materials. His projects also include topology optimization and structural health monitoring under stochastic loads. The recent publications highlight a strong trend toward data-driven structural health monitoring and sustainable material innovation . His work combines experimental validation with computational modeling, particularly in vibration-based damage detection and rheological characterization of novel concrete mixtures. The integration of environmental variables and ambient excitation in monitoring systems reflects a modern, systems-level approach to civil infrastructure resilience. While no specific scientific awards are listed in the provided text, his sustained research output and leadership in multiple PhD projects indicate recognition within the field. Hans Holger Hundborg Koss actively supervises PhD students and leads several funded research projects, including those on structural health monitoring of offshore platforms, optimized 3D-printed constructions, wind load modeling via CFD, Arctic built environments, and aerodynamics of iced bridge cables. These projects reflect interdisciplinary collaboration with experts in materials, structural dynamics, and environmental engineering. He is involved in experimental work at DTU’s specialized Climatic Wind Tunnel and contributes to national and international research networks. His lab activities focus on wind tunnel testing, material characterization, and development of diagnostic methods for structural performance and safety.
