Josephine V. Carstensen
Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, MIT
About
Josephine is from Copenhagen, Denmark, and recieved both her bachelor’s and master’s from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). For her master’s she spent a five month research period at the BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. After graduating, she worked for one year as a research assistant at DTU and later pursued a PhD in Civil Engineering at Hopkins.
In her spare time she loves to make clothes! Her favorite part of it is making the patterns for sewing, but she also enjoys sewing and knitting.
Josephine now leads the MIT top+ad group as an Assistant Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at . Her research revolves around the development of advanced structural design methods, including generative design such as topology optimization.
