Embedded systems engineer specialized in biomedical engineering

I'm an embedded systems engineer from Croatia and I specialise in embedded systems. I got my masters degree in electrical enigneering from the University of Zagreb, FER (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing) in the summer of 2024. I specialized in electrical and computer engineering with sprinkled in classes of biomedical engineering. That means that I've seen almost most of it all, from sensor design, instrumentation, filter design, PCB design, embedded systems programing, digital signal processing to a bit about anatomy and human locomotion.

What do I even do?

I really enjoy researching uncommon solutions to problems regarding hardware limitations, pushing the limits of hardware. For me, working on experimental systems and squeezing out the most out of a system is a very satifying process. I create firmware for microcontrolers, design electronics circuits and their PCBs.
My master's thesis, titled Designing a new generation system for High Density surface Electromyography, is a wireless system for detailed measurement of muscle activity with a large electorode array. The modular system was designed to adapt to different sizes of electrode grids. It's currently in the early testing phase and I intend on continuing the systems development. It won 3. place at the ZESOI master's thesis workshop 2024 (DIRA 2024).
