In addition, Professor Thomsen has held visiting professor positions with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Center for Composite Materials, University of Delaware, USA (1999-2000); Israel Institute of Technology - Technion, Haifa, Israel (8 stays in the period 1999-2010); University of Southampton, School of Engineering Sciences (2008-2011).
Professor Thomsen is currently Chairman of the Danish Council for Independent Research | Technology and Production Sciences (FTP), he is a member of the Danish Academy of the Technical Sciences (ATV), and he is currently Associate Editor for Strain - An International Journal for Experimental Mechanics.
Reseearch Interests:
Professor Thomsen´s interests include experimental, theoretical and computational mechanics with special focus on design, characterization and evaluation of lightweight structures made of composite and sandwich materials as well as light metal alloys. His main field of research concerns the modelling and experimental characterization of localised effects and failure in lightweight composite and sandwich structures subjected to static, fatigue and dynamic loading conditions.
