Stefan Jacobsen
Background and activities
Professor since 2003 after I worked in various positions in the concrete industry: contractor, at a privat research inst, and also at Laval University in Quebec, Canada. My research and teaching interests currently include fresh concrete rheology, robotic production of sprayed concrete and porestructure - concrete property relations to permeability, frost- and alkali silica durability. I teach at master and PhD level. My research is targeting competitiveness and sustainability: from the packing of particles to ensure low environmental impact from concrete production, to including the CO2-uptake by carbonation of recycled/crushed concrete in the environmental quantification data to ensure complete quantification of life cycle impact of concrete to the planet. I spent a sabbatical year at Princeton University 2012-2013 http://gwsgroup.princeton.edu/people/visitors/prof-stefan-jacobsen/
