Home life

Dorte Juul Jensen was born January 30, 1957, in Birkerød, Denmark. She is a daughter of Per and Jutta (Hartvig) Justesen. She married Jens Christian Juul-Jensen, August 29, 1981, and they have two children.

Work life

After earning her Ph.d. in Civil Engineering, she was appointed chair of the Research Forum by the then minister of Research. Since 1983 Juul-Jensen has been a researcher at Risø National Laboratory, first as a scientist, then from 1994 as a senior scientist. Juul-Jensen is also an editor of the journal ''Scripta Materialia'', an international journal of material science, and she has co-authored a book, ''Electron Backscatter Diffraction in Materials Science'' (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, New York 2000).

Publications

Dorte Juul Jensen has published over 450 scientific articles. Here are a few of them: * An experimentally-based molecular dynamics analysis of grain boundary migration during recrystallization in aluminum * Development of microstructure in FCC metals during cold work * Impact of 3D/4D methods on the understanding of recrystallization

Awards and achievements
