Dorte Juul Jensen is a senior scientist and head of the Center for Fundamental Research: Metal Structures in Four Dimensions and Materials Research Division, Risø DTU National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Roskilde, Denmark. Risø operates under the auspices of the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, researching a wide range of technologies and training Ph.D candidates in the sciences.

Jensen's research involves advancing knowledge of the physical characteristics of metal structures. She has pioneered new experimental techniques based on neutron diffraction, electron microscopy, and synchrotron x-ray diffraction.

In 1997, Jensen became the first woman to be awarded the degree of Dr. Techn. in Denmark. In 1998, she was awarded a Tagea Brandt Rejselegat. In 1999, she was the first woman to receive the Statoil Prize (Statoil Prisen) for her work.

Jensen is an editor of the journal Scripta Materialia, an international journal of material science, and she has co-authored a book, Electron Backscatter Diffraction in Materials Science (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, New York 2000).
