Martin Peter Bieri

Mission PhD student and research assistant Martin Bieri is a PhD student at the Laboratory of Hydraulic Constructions (LCH) of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He obtained his Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at the same university in 2007. During his graduation he worked as trainee for different engineering companies in Switzerland. Beside his PhD topic in the field of hydrological-hydraulic modeling, he is involved in different applied research projects, physical modelling tests as well as numerical simulations.Research Operation of complex hydropower schemes and its impact on the flow regime in the downstream river systemSupervised by Prof. Dr. Anton J. Schleiss and funded by the Innovation Promotion Agency (CTI) and private partners Teaching & PhD Courses Water resources engineering and management CIVIL-466 The course focuses on designing and managing water systems to ensure sustainable use for both human and environmental needs. Engineering aspects:water quantity, quality, timing, distribution. Management: economic evaluation of water systems in the context of global changes and financial constraints.
