On April 4, students from the Héroes de Chile school in Limache, winners of the Explora congress, visited Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTFSM) to learn about science and technology. Creating a link between science and society is essential to disseminate the high-impact work developed in the laboratories and to educate people about the challenges […]
Dr. Andrés Mora joined the Electrical Systems research line of the Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AC3E) as a research associate in April. The line researches hardware, firmware and software design for the control of power converters, develops tools for the planning, operation and control of electrical power systems and design of electricity […]
Most of Chile’s greenhouse gas emissions, the main drivers of climate change, come from energy generation and consumption, particularly the transportation sector, which accounts for 25% of the total. Chile has sought to reverse this situation, positioning itself as a regional leader in the implementation and expansion of electromobility, with initiatives such as the National […]
For the second consecutive year, Dr. Felipe Tobar, researcher at the Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AC3E) and an academic at Universidad de Chile, together with student Victor Caro, won the Lara Award (Latin America Research Award), which was given for the ninth time. Their project “EEG seizure detectors: towards generalization and interpretability,” […]
