Jesper deClaville Christiansen (born 30 June 1963 in Skive, Denmark) is a Danish professor in Materials Science and Technology. Professor Christiansen is known for his work in the field of mechanics of polymers, diffusion, rheology and micro and nano composites especially. [1]
Professor Jesper deClaville Christiansen was knighted on 11. April 2014 (ridder af Dannebrog) by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. [2]
Professor Christiansen received his PhD degree in 1989 after joint studies at Aalborg University, Denmark and Brunel University in London, U.K. His appointment to Professor in Materials Science came in 1998 where a 5-year research professorship in rheology of silicates initiated a chair in Materials Science.
Since 1 October 2012 Professor Christiansen has been coordinator of the European Community Research Program FP-7 Large EVOLUTION under the "Green Car" where a new electrical car 40% lighter than existing cars using green materials and technology is the aim. (12 mill. Euro). He was also coordinator for the successful European Community Research Program FP-7 Large Nanotough (2008–2011), where light and tough and strong nano composites were developed for space and automotive applications.
Professor Christiansen is active as reviewer for several journals: Langmuir, Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics. Macromol. Mater. Eng., Oil & Gas Science and Technology-Revue de l'IFP, Composites A, Materials Science and Engineering, Geochimica Cosmochimica Acta, Journal of Engineering Education, Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, American Mineralogist, Polymers and Polymer Composites, Journal of Rheology, Polymer Engineering and Science to mention some.
Professor Christiansen is Head of the Doctoral program in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Aalborg University
Professor Christiansen is author/co-author of more than 200 publications [3]
Rheology is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a fluid state but also as "soft solids" or solids under conditions in which they respond with plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to an applied force. Rheology is the branch of physics that deals with the deformation and flow of materials, both solids and liquids.
Aalborg University (AAU) is an international public university with campuses in Aalborg, Esbjerg, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 1974, the university awards bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and PhD degrees in a wide variety of subjects within humanities, social sciences, information technology, design, engineering, exact sciences, and medicine.
EVolution is a research project funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme of the Green Cars initiative. It started on 1 October 2012 with a specified duration of 4 years. The objective of the project was to develop new materials that will significantly reduce the weight of the new generation of hybrid and electric vehicles.
