RESEARCH PROJECTS
WE HAVE COLLABORATED IN PROJECTS FINANCED BY ANID, SUPPORTING THE REALIZATION OF APPLIED SCIENCE PROJECTS.
Open Water: Low-cost real-time water measurement and monitoring system.
University: University of Chile-CAPTA
Fund: FONDEF IDeA I+D19l10363
Researchers: Sandra Céspedes, Linda Daniele
Design and manufacturing of the Open Water device, prioritizing easily accessible processes and materials. The device had to contain the sensors and electronics and at the same time remain watertight for measurement in deep and surface waters.
ACT Telescope Modeling
University: Pontifical Catholic University of Chile - AIUC Astro Engineering Center
Ring Project
Researcher: Rolando Dünner Planella
Parametric modeling and mechanical reconstruction of the ACT telescope, in order to characterize its electromagnetic response, allowing it to evaluate its optical behavior through simulations and thus improve the scientific performance of the telescope. All within the framework of the Ring Project (ACT 1417).
Pollutant Gas Degradation Chamber
University: USACH-LEMAA
Fund: Fondecyt
Researchers: Alexandre Carbonnel, Hugo Pérez
Design, 3D modeling and manufacturing files of the first photocatalytic degradation chamber in Chile, for the LEMAA Laboratory of the USACH Faculty of Architecture, open design according to ISO 22197-1 standard
Open Hydro Turbine Modeling and Prototyping
University: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile - Department of Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering - MERIC
Researcher: Cristian Escauriaza
3D modeling and manufacturing by FDM printing of turbines for simulations in channels of the UC Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering Laboratory. The scale models were built based on the design of the Open Hydro turbines.
Micro-Meteorological Stations
University: PUC- Latina UC - REDEFINE SPA
Researchers: Christian Oberli, Santiago Barros, Jean Paul de Villers Grandchamps
Design of modular micro stations, which are part of Monitoring and Early Warning Systems (SMAT). They were designed to be installed in adverse weather conditions simply and quickly, prioritizing local and low-cost manufacturing processes.
Design of sensor supports for a project to evaluate the effects of the 2010 tsunami in Mataquito
University: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile - Department of Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering
Fund: Fondecyt
Researcher: Rodrigo Cienfuegos
Design and manufacture of supports for anchoring maritime sensors, laser scanners, sediment traps (Long-shore and Cross-shore), which were operated by the
team in charge of the campaign on the ground.
