Carry out research in hydraulic structures and water resources2) Engineer, proof and diffuse innovative solutions on water infrastructure3) Foster sustainable hydropower as renewable energy source worldwide. Current work Swiss Competence Centre for Energy Research - Supply of Electricity (SCCER-SoE)1) Lead researcher in Hydropower infrastructure adaptation2) Coordinator of the Demonstrator for large hydropower schemes Dr. Pedro MANSO is a civil engineer with 20+ years of experience in the Water and Energy sectors, both in academia and in engineering practice.His main research interests are on fluid-structure interaction, dam behaviour, hydraulic transients and multiphase flows in hydraulic structures and water infrastructure.He graduated from IST Lisbon in 1998, started his career at DHV Portugal in the water & environment department. In 2001 he joined the Laboratory of Hydraulic Constructions (LCH) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) where he conducted several engineering and research projects. In 2006 he obtained a PhD on the field of rock scour downstream dams. In 2003 he received ICOLD honor certificate for the Next Generation and in 2006 he was granted the ASCE J. C. Stevens Award. From 2006 to end 2014 he worked in Stucky Ltd in Lausanne as project engineer & manager for greenfield hydro projects and rehabilitation and upgrading of existing hydropower schemes and dams in Europe, Africa and Asia, from the study phase till commissioning.He is an expert in hydraulic structures, dam safety, feasibility studies, design optimization and catchment hydrology. He joined the SCCER-SoE late 2014 as Senior Research Associate on "Hydropower Infrastructure Adaptation", seconded to LCH-EPFL. He is founder of several spin-off associations and companies from IST and EPFL. Education Exec. Educ.

The course is an introduction to the fascinating domain of dam engineering, from design to construction, for water storage and regulated supply, including for renewable energy generation (hydropower), flood protection and drought prevention Hydropower schemes and pumped-storage CIVIL-469 The course deals with the conception and design of hydraulic structures used for production and/or storage of electric energy, including pumped hydro energy storage (PHES). We also discuss their technical/social/economical/environmental feasibility in the Swiss/European/Global energy transition.
