About me
Hi, I’m Aleksandar, an Electrical Engineering and Information Technology student at ETH Zurich. I studied physics for three and a half years before switching, so my work sits where the two meet: semiconductor devices, detector physics, quantum technologies and digital hardware design (ASICs, FPGAs, PCBs).
I’m happiest in the lab, building circuits, taking measurements and making sense of the data afterwards. I’ve done advanced lab work in quantum optics, solid-state and nuclear physics, and I’ve worked in the cleanroom at IBM Research’s Binnig and Rohrer Nanotechnology Center. In spring 2027 I’ll start a project with the PSI high-energy physics group, testing, characterizing and designing ASICs for CERN detectors.
On the side, I build open-source tools. My KiCad plugin kicad-splitplane is now in KiCad’s official Plugin and Content Manager. I also tutor maths, physics and electrical engineering, and my teaching notes are free to use under Teaching.
Projects
