“Be less curious about people and more
curious about ideas”
Marie Skłodowska-Curie
Hello pavement
lovers 😊..!
My name is Mario Manosalvas Paredes and I
am proud to say that I was born in Quito - Ecuador back in 1988. I hold a bachelor’s
in Civil Engineering, 2013, from Escuela Politécnica del Ejército (Army
Polytechnic School) in Ecuador. In 2015 I completed a master’s degree of Civil Engineering
from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Technical University of Madrid) in Spain.
Finally, in October 2017, I became a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the University
of Nottingham where I work as a researcher for the Nottingham Transportation Research Centre (NTEC) under the
Faculty of Engineering. Within my research activities, it is foreseen
that after the next 3-years, I will complete my Doctoral studies.
In terms of work experience, I have been
working as Pavement Engineer for more than 5-years in South, Central America
and Europe. While working for the Consultancy Department in Dynatest Denmark
A/S from 2015 to 2017, I did multiple Structural and Functional Evaluations in
airports like Hamad International Airport, Dubai International Airport and Abu
Dhabi International Airport to name a few. In parallel, I have given seminars
and training courses in Spain and South Korea in 2016, Argentina 2017 and,
Colombia 2018. In 2017, I presented at the 10th International Conference
on BCRRA in Greece the application of the Fast-Falling Weight Deflectometer as
an intermediate tool for Accelerated Pavement Testing.
In
the long run, I would like to return to the private sector with the aim of
applying new technologies to daily problems in order to raise the bar of
knowledge and most important, minimize the total cost to society which as
pavement engineers, is the end goal.
