Following five years in Industry as CTO Mansson moved in 1985 to an academic position at the University of Washington, Seattle. In 1990, he joined the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) as Professor and Director of a newly created chair in Polymer and Composite Technology (LTC) at the Institute of Materials. His research interests are primarily in Composite manufacturing, covering topics such as:
Besides his research, Prof. Manson was during a period Vice-president at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, focusing on Innovation and Technology Transfer. Since 2008, Prof. Mansson is besides his University engagement, President of the International Academy of Sports Science and Technology, AISTS, an International Olympic Committee (IOC) co-founded organization linking Academic Institutions in Sport Management and Technology.
Prof. Mansson is the founder of the composite companies, EELCEE Ltd. and QEESTAR Co. Ltd. (JV) active in the field of High-Volume Composites and Additive Manufacturing. The two companies have today its main operation in Korea and Europe.
