Manuel received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering, electronics and information technology from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany, in 2020. He then joined LITES (previously LTE) as a Research Associate and since 2025 he is the research group leader of the Radio Frequency Integrated Systems (RFIS) team. His research interests include BiCMOS integrated circuits for communication systems in D-band.
