About
Jesper Kierkegaard Hansen is a leading researcher in timber engineering and robotic fabrication, with a focus on developing reversible, high-performance connections for sustainable architecture. His most cited work introduces the "ReconWood Joint," a novel reversible connection designed for robotic timber assembly that uses CNC-milled shear keys to significantly enhance shear resistance. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in contemporary timber construction: creating joints that are both structurally robust and easily disassembled for reuse, aligning with circular economy principles. By combining fracture mechanics with anisotropic finite element modeling, Hansen provides a rigorous experimental and computational framework that validates the joint's performance. His research bridges advanced manufacturing, structural engineering, and material science, offering practical solutions for automated timber building systems. With growing citations and relevance to the push for digital fabrication in construction, Hansen's work is shaping the future of sustainable, robotically assembled timber structures.
