Hans Holger Hundborg Koss is an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Section for Structures and Safety, at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. His long-standing research experience is in the field of Wind Engineering and Structural Dynamics with particular focus on the simulation of wind loads on buildings and structures (experimentally and numerically), their static and dynamic response and the climatic behaviour of the Urban Environment. With his design work on a specialised Climatic Wind Tunnel in 2008-2009, his research expanded to cold climate effects on aerodynamic performance of bridge cables and wind turbine blades, especially related to Atmospheric Icing. With the investigation of topology optimisation of minimal structures under stochastic loading in 2016, he embarked on the field of 3D Additive Manufacturing. This activity lead subsequently to the development of an innovative Biopolymer-based Composit as a building material allowing a high degree of freedom in the printing process. His teaching covers Wind Engineering, Wind Tunnel Testing, Structural Engineering, Probabilistic Modelling, Urban Environments and Experimental Structural Mechanics on both basic and advanced level.
