About & résumé

I’m Marcos Ibáñez Matles. I’m studying for an MSc in Microelectronics and Chip Design at the Technical University of Munich.

I’m interested in how GPUs and accelerators are built, and how designing hardware and software together can improve graphics and high-performance computing.

Outside the lab, I fly FPV drones, make 3D prints, and play in goal.
