ETH Zürich · Electrical engineering
Manuel Ugolini
I study electrical engineering at ETH Zürich and like building small, useful things — from a dashboard on the wall to tweaks for the computer I work on every day.
About
I'm doing my bachelor's in electrical engineering and information technology at ETH Zürich, after starting out in computational science and engineering.
Alongside my studies I'm Head of Operations at ETHSG, a student association that has connected ETH and HSG students since 2020. We bring companies and students together — for example a workshop with AMD on AI running locally on edge devices. I also teach courses part-time.
Outside of that I tinker. I run Linux on my laptop and keep shaping it to fit how I work, and I build small web projects that solve everyday problems — the kind of thing you use every morning without thinking about it.
Projects
Home board
Live
A wall dashboard for home: live train and bus departures with delays and platforms, the next connections into the city, the weather, and car-sharing availability nearby. Built to run full-screen on a Raspberry Pi and go dark at night.
CPU clock for GNOME
Tinkering
A GNOME Shell extension that shows the processor's clock speed in the top bar and tints it from green to red as load rises. Click it for per-core speeds.
