Professor Dan Zenkert

KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden

Education and Career:
I received both my M.Sc. (Aeronautics) and Ph.D. (Lightweight structures) from Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. I became docent (D.Sc.) in 1996, associate professor in 1998 and full professor in 2001.
