About me

Hello, my name is Zoltán Marcsek. I graduated as an Electrical Engineer specializing in Embedded Systems at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). As a student in a double-degree program, I have also obtained a B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The full text of my BSc thesis is available here.

From March 2021 until August 2022, I worked as an Embedded Software Engineer at a small, dynamic engineering firm. My main project has been developing firmware for a railway vibration measurement device that can forecast failures, aiding preventive maintenance.

In February 2021 I joined the BME Solar Boat Team, the solar-powered boat racing team at my university. Since then, we have attended the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge and the Wildauer Solarbootregatta in Germany, where we placed third. I was elected as the leader of the electrical group starting January 2022, and in this role, I coordinated the complete restructuring of the boat's electrical system, as well as arranged multiple industry partnerships until August 2022.

Since September 2022 I have been pursuing my MSc in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zürich specializing in Systems and Control.
