Seçkin Sertaç LALLI

M. Sc. Geophysical Engineer · Embedded Systems · Automation

Hi, I'm Sertaç. I was born in 1992 in Balıkesir, Turkey. After completing my primary and secondary education in various cities, I started my undergraduate studies in 2010 at Ankara University, Department of Geophysical Engineering, and graduated in 2017. In 2024, I earned my Master's degree from the same university’s Institute of Science and received the title of M.Sc. Geophysical Engineer.

My passion for electrical and electronic systems deepened during my university years, leading me to specialize in geophysical measurement technologies, data acquisition systems, and embedded software. I develop software using Python, C, and C++, and design industrial automation solutions and custom electronic hardware.

In 2019, I founded LARES Engineering and Earth Sciences Ltd., where we design, manufacture, and market multi-electrode electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) systems under the CERES product line. We also develop custom data acquisition platforms, embedded control software, and automation solutions tailored to client needs.

By combining geophysical engineering with advanced electronics, I continue to create innovative and high-precision systems for earth sciences and industrial applications.
