Lance Manuel

Lance Manuel is a Professor of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on uncertainty quantification in engineered systems, particularly wind energy and offshore structures. He has led projects related to wind turbine fatigue analysis, hurricane risk assessment, and climate change adaptation.

• Ph.D., Civil Engineering (Stanford University)
• M.S., Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics (University of Virginia)
• B.Tech., Civil Engineering (Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay)

His work bridges civil infrastructure with climate resilience, emphasizing probabilistic methods for structural reliability. Key areas include extreme climate modeling, floating offshore wind turbines, and fatigue damage prediction under non-stationary conditions.

Recent publications highlight interdisciplinary trends in renewable energy systems and climate hazard quantification. He advises graduate students like Taemin Heo and Ding Peng Liu, whose work spans stochastic processes and offshore structural reuse.
