Scientific assistant, responsible for the Lab's experimental infrastructure

Biography

Vlad Hasmatuchi is an engineer and researcher specialising in hydraulic machines and turbomachinery. He graduated in mechanical engineering from the Polytechnic University of Timișoara (Romania) in 2007, and obtained a doctorate of science in engineering from EPFL (Switzerland) in 2012. A scientific assistant at the HES-SO Valais-Wallis since the same year, he carries out his applied research activities at the Hydro Alps Lab. His work focuses on the hydrodynamics of turbines, pumps and pump-turbines, with a strong involvement in on-site measurement campaigns in hydroelectric power stations, aimed at analysing performance and off-design operating regimes. He also contributes to the development and operation of the laboratory's experimental infrastructure, in particular the test benches dedicated to hydraulic machines.
