Our deepest condolences, and sympathy, to his family and especially to his wife Jennifer.
Manuel was highly esteemed and beloved by all his fellows and he always had the appreciation of all his friends and colleagues in CAOS, who valued his companionship and friendship.
Manuel arrived at the UAB in September 2006, when he was selected as a scholar in the Computer Architecture and Operating Systems (CAOS) Department. From that date on Manuel was a distinguished PhD student and later on a brilliant researcher. Manuel demonstrated a significant ability to perform a very high quality work, both theoretical and practical, with a high level of creativity, showing him as a very mature person.
In September 2007 he obtained his M.S. and in October 2010 his PhD degree, both awarded with the Highest Honors. During all the time Manuel stayed with us at the UAB, he was a very active member of the department, offering his knowledge and abilities all the times to all they needed.
Manuel did not go through life without a significant trace. We, his friends and colleagues, will never forget him.
Rest in Peace Manuel.
