Norwegian wind engineer
Jasna Bogunović Jakobsen is a Norwegian wind engineer who studies the structural loads and aeroelastic flutter caused by wind on bridges and bridge cables .[ 1] She is a professor in the Department of Machinery, Building and Materials Technology at the University of Stavanger .[ 2]
Education and career
Jakobsen earned a PhD at the Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1994,
and joined the University of Stavanger faculty as an associate professor of civil engineering in 1995. She became a full professor in 2003.[ 2]
Contributions
Jakobsen has used a combination of anemometers and accelerometers to study the effects of wind on the Lysefjord Bridge in Norway.[ 1] Her research on using lidar to measure wind speeds has been used to ensure the safety of a bridge across the Bjørnafjorden , designed to be the world's longest floating bridge .[ 3] [ 4]
Recognition
Jakobsen is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences .[ 5]
