Meet SIMULIA Champion Lars Pilgaard Mikkelsen, Associate Professor in the Department of Wind Energy at the Technical University of Denmark, whose work includes both teaching and research, and that research includes wind turbine modeling using Abaqus.​​​​​​​

Over the last decade, Lars has been involved in projects with a focus on understanding mechanisms controlling the lifetime of wind turbine blade materials. He contributed to a project that made the Technical University of Denmark stand out as a leader in clean energy technology. In addition, Lars is highly involved in two massive open online courses (MOOC) which have attracted thousands of students. The newest of those courses has a focus on X-ray tomography, closing the gap between x-ray scans and numerical modeling.

We will be getting to know some of our individual SIMULIA Champions in a series of blogs, finding out more about their history – and future – with the technology. Read the full interview with Lars Pilgaard Mikkelsen on the SIMULIA blog.
