About Manuel
Manuel is a nature advocate and a serial tech entrepreneur. During his PhD program at Imperial College, Manuel developed a sensor technology powered by harvesting energy from wireless transmissions. He also co-founded two ventures that built sensor-based Internet of Things products. Before he got the tech bug, 17-year old Manuel was scouted to be a professional MLB pitcher.
