Cybergenetics: creating an interphase to stimulate and monitor optoegenetic systems
En nuestro laboratorio estudiamos una serie de procesos relacionados con fotobiología, así como con optogenética. Esto implica utilizar luz para gatillar cambios celulares, en particular expresión génica. Actualmente buscamos elaborar un sistema de control que nos permita estimular con luz (de distinta intensidad y composición espectral), nuestro sistema biológico, con duty cycles de distinta duración, así como bajo fotoperiodos de distinto largo. El desafío es coordinar dicho sistema con un sistema de detección de bioluminiscencia de alta sensibilidad, de forma de coordinar estimulación y detección, de manera que no se sobrelapen e interfieran.

Estrategias de uso eficiente de recursos para el control de pelotones de vehículos autónomos
Esta investigación se enmarca en el contexto del control automático de sistemas IoT de vehículos autónomos que se comunican entre sí a través de canales inalámbricos. En particular, estudiaremos la estabilidad de los pelotones de vehículos frente a perturbaciones externas, como cambios bruscos de velocidad y frenadas repentinas, conocido como ‘string stability’. Exploraremos estrategias que emplean eficientemente los recursos disponibles (como el ancho de banda y la potencia de transmisión) para asegurar la estabilidad del pelotón. Modelaremos y analizaremos las condiciones que garantizan esta propiedad crucial, esencial para reducir colisiones y optimizar la eficiencia del combustible. Además, tendrás la oportunidad de investigar diversos modelos de comunicación inalámbrica entre vehículos y su impacto en el control del pelotón. Validaremos nuestros resultados y algoritmos utilizando simuladores realistas de pelotones de vehículos, como PLEXE.

CHACANA IV Project
There are crucial clues to the study of the Early Solar System in the myriad fragments of solid matter orbiting the Sun. When one of them hits Earth, the friction with the atmosphere heats it, causing the phenomena called “meteors.” If the fragment is large, it will survive and fall to Earth. That is a meteorite. The CHACANA Project aims to install and operate an all-sky camera network to detect meteors, triangulate their incoming paths, determine their origin orbits, connect them with a possible progenitor object, and estimate where the fragments fell for effective recovery. IPre IV builds on the previous ones. It will install the second camera in the network in San Francisco de Mostazal, work on the third, and produce the first triangulations.

Study and simulation of multi-agent systems
Multi-agent systems represent an interdisciplinary field of growing interest due to their ability to model and solve complex problems in diverse scenarios, ranging from drone coordination to the use of nanorobots in medicine. This undergraduate research project proposes a comprehensive literature review on the most relevant design methodologies and applications of multi-agent systems. Additionally, simulations will be developed to explore their behavior in various contexts, evaluating aspects such as cooperation, communication, and robustness to disturbances. This work aims to attract students interested in collective dynamics, artificial intelligence, distributed control, and their practical applications.

Resource-aware strategies for the control of autonomous vehicle platooning
This research falls within the context of automatic control of IoT systems for autonomous vehicles that communicate with each other via wireless channels. In particular, we will study the stability of vehicle platoons in the face of external disturbances, such as sudden speed changes and abrupt braking, known as ‘string stability.’ We will explore strategies that efficiently utilize the available resources (such as bandwidth and transmission power) to ensure the stability of the platoon. We will model and analyze the conditions that guarantee this crucial property, essential for reducing collisions and optimizing fuel efficiency. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to investigate various wireless communication models between vehicles and their impact on platoon control. We will validate our results and algorithms using realistic vehicle platoon simulators, such as PLEXE.

Age of Information and its effect on autonomous vehicle platoons
Vehicle platoons are a promising application for future intelligent transportation systems. The control and stability of the platoon depend on the timeliness of the control information, captured through the concept of “Age of Information” (AoI). AoI has proven to be an effective metric for measuring how recent the information is in IoT applications. Given V2V wireless communications, AoI can be affected by various factors such as transmission period, channel interference, and various delays. The proposed research aims to study how AoI affects vehicle platooning systems and its relationship with platoon topology, wireless channel models, and other communication system parameters. It also seeks to determine conditions on AoI to ensure platoon stability, which is essential for efficiently designing safe autonomous vehicle platoons.
