Fundusol is made up of highly driven individuals with skills
and experiences
in energy, agricultural science, math, computer science, and physics.
Michael witnessed the energy and agricultural challenges facing farmers during the summers he spent visiting family in a Lebanese farming village. While working on FTC Solar's strategy team and taking graduate level energy courses, Michael became excited about the electricity sector and committed to decarbonizing the electric grid. Michael channels his interests in expanding renewable energy and helping farmers by leading Fundusol's business development.
Growing up in Mexico, Luca sees the potential for agrivoltaics to be an ally in both the US's and Mexico's energy transition. Luca has cultivated knowledge in topics like computational modeling, Big Data, and neural networks through personal projects and has gained a fundamental understanding of the software development process at Mexico's biggest IT company, Softtek. At Fundusol, Luca applies his CS skills to the development of solar and crop modeling software as well as web tools.
Esteban has been working in computational physics research for years, with experience ranging from thermal and orbital modeling of asteroids to now dark matter scattering research at SLAC with the SuperCDMS team.
He is excited to apply this experience, along with a desire to make our energy use more sustainable, to building Fundusol's algorithmic capabilities.
Peter Westbrook is a freshman at Stanford studying Math and Computer Science. Growing up in East Kansas, Peter has always been passionate about finding solutions for the evolving problems facing today's agricultural industry. Since he was sixteen, he has been taking graduate courses in probability and statistics as well as participating in university research projects like applying machine learning algorithms to Bayesian data assimilation frameworks. Now, Peter leverages this background to build Fundusol's algorithm.
