Jürgen Jensen (engineering scientist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jürgen Jensen (born May 11, 1955 in Klockries / Risum-Lindholm ) is a German engineering scientist and professor at the University of Siegen .

Life

Jensen studied civil engineering at the TU Braunschweig specializing in foundation engineering, hydraulic engineering, hydromechanics and coastal hydraulic engineering. In 1985, the TU Braunschweig also received his doctorate to become a Dr.-Ing. with the dissertation topic on transient water level changes on the German North Sea coast with Alfred Führböter .

In 1991, Jensen was appointed to the civil engineering department at the University of Siegen. In the following year he took up the professorship at the University of Siegen in the field of civil engineering. In 1994 he founded the Research Center for Water Management and Environment at the University of Siegen, which was transferred to the Research Institute for Water and Environment in 2005 , the direction of which was taken over by Jensen. Before that, from 2002 to 2004 he was dean of the civil engineering department.

Research priorities

Jensen's research focuses on physical and numerical models for the optimization of hydraulic and hydraulic engineering systems and the creation of safety concepts. Other main areas of work are climate impact research in the area of ​​surface water and hydraulic engineering, probabilistic and static methods, near-natural water development and the use of rainwater and hydropower.

Awards

In 2005, Jensen, in collaboration with Mario Pacas, Martin Schultz and Jörg Wieland, was awarded 2nd place in the Welt der Wunder innovation prize for the small-scale power plant project - water wheels with energy converters based on the modular principle .
