Manuel has a PhD in Sustainable Thermal Energy Systems from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. His doctoral thesis work was related to waste heat recovery systems for energy-intensive industries and internal combustion engines, by means of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) in order to produce power and increase the efficiency of energy consumption.
He also has a Master of Science in Power Engineering degree from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany, where he worked on the simulation of systems of biomass thermal gasification coupled with Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) to produce power. Manuel has a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the ITESO University.
He has worked in the industry as a Mechanical Design Engineer, designing components and assemblies of machines dedicated to materials properties research. He joined ITESO and the Department of Technological and Industrial Processes on 2020 teaching subjects on the area of thermo-fluids.
His field of expertise and research interests include:
- Thermal Energy Systems, conventional and unconventional
- Waste heat recovery systems such as Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)
- Sustainable use of energy resources by means of energy efficiency for energy transformation processes on the industry, engines and power plants.
