Mr. Jens Sandager Jensen graduated from the Danish Engineering Academy in Denmark in 1982 with a BSc in Civil and Structural Engineering. Specialist knowledge areas are management, life cycle analysis, design of bridges and tunnels and asset management. In 1982 he joined the Danish company Christiani & Nielsen working with design of marine and tunnel structures, before coming to COWI in 1988, where the first assignment was to be part of the design team for the Eastern Railway Tunnel under the Great Belt in Denmark. Mr. Jens Sandager Jensen has been the project manager responsible for O&M activities on several major Danish infrastructure projects, amongst others the Eastern Railway Tunnel and the West Bridge of the Great Belt, the land works for the Øresund Bridge and the Copenhagen Metro. He has also worked as project manager to Rail Net Denmark with the responsibility of bridge maintenance in East Denmark. During many years he has been responsible for Design Build projects for Contractors in the Scandinavian Infrastructure Market with high focus on time and cost savings for the Contractor Clients and at the same time fulfilling the requirements of the Public End Clients. Mr. Jens Sandager Jensen has been involved in innovation and development within the field of O&M and has in COWI been responsible for major international research and development projects, amongst others the comprehensive EU projects "Sustainable Bridges; Assessment for future traffic demands and longer lives" and "MAINLINE - MAINtenance, renewal and Improvement of rail transport iNfrastructure to reduce Economic and environmental impacts". Mr. Jens Sandager Jensen is furthermore active in IABSE and in IABMAS since 2002, including a member of The Executive Committee of IABMAS since 2016 and Chairman of IABMAS Denmark since inauguration in 2023. Finally since 2006 he has been a member of the organizing committee for yearly Danish Bridge Day and he has since 2011 been active in the Danish group responsible for defining the policies and regulations to be used in connection with transportation infrastructure structures and civil works. Dan M Frangopol is the inaugural holder of the Fazlur R. Khan Endowed Chair of Structural Engineering and Architecture at Lehigh University. He is recognized as a pioneer in the field of life-cycle engineering of civil and marine structures under various types of hazards. Dr. Frangopol is the Founding President of the International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS) and the International Association for Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE). He is the Founding Editor of Structure and Infrastructure Engineering. Dr. Frangopol is the recipient of several honors and awards from ASCE, IABSE, IASSAR, ISHMII, SAE and other professional organizations. He holds 4 honorary doctorates and 14 honorary professorships from major universities. In 2023 ASCE established the Dan M, Frangopol Medal for Life-Cycle Engineering of Civil Structures.
