Mogens Høgh Jensen Biography, Age, Height, Wife, Net Worth and Family

He has received several prizes most notably the Norwegian physics prize ‘Gunnar Randers’ handed over in 2011 by King Harald V of Norway.

He later worked on fully developed turbulence and together with Giovanni Paladin and Angelo Vulpiani he pioneered the study of intermittency correction in term of shell models. He was the head of ‘Center for Chaos and Turbulence Studies: CATS’ before he in 2004 he became the director of ‘BioNET: Danish Center for Biophysics’. Since then he has mainly worked on problems in biological physics, in particular protein oscillations inside cells.

Mogens Høgh Jensen has been at a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters since 2000, its secretary general in the period 2012-2016 and the president since 2016. He was knighted by Queen Margrethe II in 2017.

Following his PhD in 1984, he continued his academic career as a postdoc at the James Franck Institute in Chicago, with Leo Kadanoff as his supervisor. Here he contributed to a series of highly influential papers, and most notably he played a key part in the development of multi fractals.

He received his master degree in 1981, with professor Per Bak as supervisor. His master project was about “Theory of Helical Magnetic Structure and Phase Transitions” which was later devoted a chapter in L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz, ”Electrodynamics of Continuous Media” (Chap. 52).

Mogens Høgh Jensen (born March 2, 1955) is a Danish physicist who has made contributions to the fields of complex dynamics and fractals. He currently holds a professorship at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen and is the former President and Secretary General of the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters.
