Miguel Marcano Email & Phone Number

Growing up in Venezuela, my fascination with Science and Technology started early on. My passion for Computer Science became clear during high school when I delved into programming. With a lot of determination and motivation, I set my sights on pursuing a career in this field, leading me to learn German on my own and move to Germany, home to one of Europe's finest universities, the Technical University of Munich.During my Bachelor's program, I had the privilege of immersing myself in a wide array of subjects and forging connections with remarkable individuals. I was engaged in various projects, including TUM: Junge Akademie, a scholarship program for exceptionally talented and dedicated students. Over 20 months, scholarship holders collaborate in interdisciplinary teams on projects of their choosing. My team, "Checkmate," developed a tool aimed at enhancing fake news awareness among German high school students.Simultaneously, I began my professional journey as a Junior Software Engineer at Dorst Technologies. In this role, I contributed to the creation of a web-based visualization platform for machines designed to manufacture ceramic and powder metallurgical products.Furthermore, my academic journey led me to explore the exciting realm of bio-inspired robotics and cutting-edge control techniques, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC), which served as the focal point of my thesis.Upon completing my Bachelor's degree, I earned admission to the prestigious Software Engineering - Elite Graduate Program, a collaborative initiative between TUM, LMU, and the University of Augsburg, supported by the Elite Network of Bavaria. Tailored for the top 2 percent of computer science students, this program aspires to nurture a select group of individuals equipped to excel at the forefront of Software Engineering.
