☀ Catching some sun in Vis between optimization runs.
☀ Sunča se na Visu između optimizacijskih proračuna.
The guy who doubled the efficiency of Savonius wind turbines (from ~25% to ~42%) and still finds time to mentor the FESB Racing Team — which he'll tell you is the best student organization on the planet. Multiple national and international awards for his research in aerodynamics and optimization.
Powered by oats in every imaginable form and an unhealthy number of instruments scattered around his office. Convinced that every engineering problem is really just an optimization problem wearing a disguise.
Čovjek koji je udvostručio učinkovitost Savonius vjetroturbina (s ~25% na ~42%) i i dalje stigne biti mentor FESB Racing Teama — za koji će vam reći da je najbolja studentska udruga na svijetu. Višestruko nagrađivan za istraživanja u aerodinamici i optimizaciji.
Pogoni ga zob u svim zamislivim oblicima i nezdrav broj instrumenata razasutih po uredu. Uvjeren da je svaki inženjerski problem zapravo skriveni optimizacijski problem.
Teo Čolović
Co-Founder & Engineering Lead
🌎 Looking cool on an Amsterdam bridge. Probably thinking about gears.
🌎 Pozira na mostu u Amsterdamu. Vjerojatno razmišlja o zupčanicima.
The man who turns CAD drawings into real, working machines. At FESB he lives in the Rapid Prototyping Lab and was the technical backbone of the FESB Racing Team — if a formula car or motorcycle component needs fabricating, Teo's the one making it happen.
Equally comfortable behind a lathe and behind a keyboard. Has strong opinions about bearing tolerances and even stronger opinions about where to get the best piletina in Split.
Čovjek koji pretvara CAD crteže u stvarne, funkcionalne strojeve. Na FESB-u živi u laboratoriju za brzu izradu prototipova i bio je tehnička okosnica FESB Racing Teama — ako treba napraviti komponentu za bolid ili motocikl, Teo je taj koji to realizira.
Jednako se dobro snalazi za tokarilicu i za tipkovnicu. Ima čvrste stavove o tolerancijama ležajeva, a još čvršće o tome di se jede najbolja piletina u Splitu.
Dr. Sc. Andrej Zvonimir Tomić
Co-Founder & Physics Lead
△ Low-poly portrait, high-poly PhD. Pre-meshed for convenience.
△ Low-poly portret, high-poly doktorat. Unaprijed diskretiziran.
Doctor of Mechanical Engineering and Master of Physics — Andrej is the guy you call when electrons and molecules need to have a serious talk. His 2024 PhD dissected how operating parameters shape the activation of membrane electrolyzers, which is a precise way of saying he figured out how to turn electricity into hydrogen more efficiently.
At FESB he has taught Physics, Electrochemical Devices, and Fluid Mechanics. Off the clock he plays drums — which, to a physicist, is really just hands-on resonance research with extra enthusiasm.
Doktor strojarstva i magistar fizike — Andrej je tip kojeg zoveš kad elektroni i molekule moraju ozbiljno popričati. Doktorat iz 2024. razglobio je utjecaj radnih parametara na aktivaciju membranskog elektrolizatora, što je precizan način da se kaže kako je otkrio kako struju učinkovitije pretvoriti u vodik.
Na FESB-u je držao nastavu iz Fizike, Elektrokemijskih uređaja i Mehanike fluida. U slobodno vrijeme svira bubnjeve — što je, za fizičara, zapravo praktično istraživanje rezonancije uz dodatnu dozu entuzijazma.
Drago Bulić
Co-Founder & Clauding Expert
☕ Morning coffee before turning ideas into airflow. Priorities.
☕ Jutarnja kava prije nego pretvori ideje u strujanje. Prioriteti.
The fluid dynamics and Clauding guy. For his thesis, Drago built a wind tunnel with the largest cross-section in Croatia — because when you need a wind tunnel and there isn't one big enough, you just make one. Trained under the legendary prof. M., known among students simply as "the God of Fluids."
Honorary member of the FESB Racing Team — for making them an aerodynamics wind tunnel and aiding composite fabrication. Equally at home with CFD simulations and hands-on machining. Fueled by morning espresso and the satisfaction of watching airflow do exactly what you predicted.
Čovjek za dinamiku fluida i Clauding. Za diplomski je Drago sagradio vjetrotunel s najvećim poprečnim presjekom u Hrvatskoj — jer kad ti triba vjetrotunel a nema dovoljno velikog, jednostavno ga napraviš. Školovao se kod legendarnog prof. M., među studentima poznatog jednostavno kao "Bog Fluida."
Počasni član FESB Racing Teama — jer im je napravio aerodinamički vjetrotunel i pomogao u izradi kompozitnih dijelova. Jednako dobar s CFD simulacijama i s rukama na stroju. Pokreće ga jutarnji espresso i zadovoljstvo kad strujanje radi točno ono šta si predvidio.

We're based in Split, Croatia — a city where you can debug code in the morning, swim in the Adriatic at lunch, and argue about the best local restaurant over evening drinks on the Riva. Our office culture runs on strong coffee, bad puns, and the firm belief that engineers should spend more time outside. We're serious about the work, not about ourselves. Sjedimo u Splitu — gradu di ujutro debugiraš kod, na ručku se kupaš u Jadranu, a navečer se raspravljaš o najboljem restoranu uz piće na Rivi. Naša uredska kultura se vrti oko jake kave, loših fora i čvrstog uvjerenja da bi inženjeri tribali više vrimena provodit vanka. Ozbiljni smo oko posla, ne oko sebe.
FESB — Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Split, Croatia. Our academic home and the foundation of everything we build.
