1986-08-01 - 1987-01-31 Associate Professor in building design at the Danish Engineering Academy.
1987-02-01 - 1992-12-31 Associate Professor in building design and CAD at the Institute of Building
Design of the Technical University of Denmark.
Facilities for CAD research and teaching were established, and 2 courses in CAD were offered.
Research and teaching on the subjects of computer aided building- and structural design, EDP system
design and conceptual modelling. Stability design of multi-storey buildings. Spalling of fire exposed
high strength concrete.
A continuous teaching and renewal of the structural fire safety course, and from 1990 a MSc/PhD.
course on fire safety design of concrete structures at London City University is given once a year.
1993-01-01 - 1995-12-31 Head of Department for the Institute of Building Design DTU.
Research on concrete structures exposed to fire and teaching building design, CAD, stability and
structural fire safety design.
Own design methods were included in the fire chapter of the CEN code for concrete structures.
1996-01-01 - Head of Department of Buildings and Energy DTU with approx. 60 employees.
Research and teaching in Denmark and UK and code work for CEN, fire safety chapters of the Danish
code for concrete structures DS411 and the Danish action code DS410 and DS409.
Consultant for the Danish Ministry of Housing for the introduction of performance based fire safety
design in Denmark.
1999-02-01 a full Master education on Fire Safety is established with 15 internet based courses as an
Open University activity, where the subject of fire dynamics is supported by a visiting professorship of
James Quintiere from University of Maryland sponsored by the Larsen and Nielsen Foundation
initiating a continuous corporation with the University of Maryland and NIST.
As a head of department value based management was introduced 1999-01-01, and at 2000-07-01 the

2001-01-01 - Establishes the department BYG.DTU with 180 employees, and becomes a deputy head
for this department leaving more time for research and teaching.
Is still teaching structural fire safety design in Denmark and UK.
A full set of design methods for concrete structures for the load case of fire is reported in refereed
papers. A new test method for explosive spalling of fire exposed concrete is developed.
A new M.Sc. study in Civil Engineering is established revising the teaching of the department.
