I am an R&D Engineer in the Innovation Management of ANTEL. I work on various projects that involve Artificial Intelligence, development of IoT devices and creation of 3D multimedia content and Virtual Reality. With a multidisciplinary team, formed by professionals from different areas, we strive to carry them forward. Our most exciting work to date was the creation of Uruguay's first satellite, the AntelSat, a milestone unprecedented in the history of our country. The satellite consisted of a CubeSat 2U equipped with two cameras and a transponder for amateur radio. Before joining ANTEL, I worked at the UdelaR School of Engineering as a research professor at the Institute of Electrical Engineering (IIE) and also at the Institute of Physics (IF) of that institution. I am currently an Assistant Professor and I am doing a Postgraduate in Physical Engineering, researching about the development of low-cost multispectral imaging systems. Since 2015, I am Co-Founder of DF Studio, a company dedicated to the creation of corporate audiovisual content and events. We have been fortunate to work with clients and leading brands, including Nissan, Renault, LandRover, Movie, Corona, Radisson Montevideo and Tienda Inglesa, who trusted us to cover their events and elaborate audiovisual content for its diffusion in social networks. I am really passionate about my work, being a proactive person who performs his activities enthusiastically. I seek to share experiences and lessons with the project team and also learn from their experiences. I am passionate about technology and I am looking to incorporate it into every new project I work on. I am always interested in listening to people who want to contact to discuss innovative ideas, projects or businesses ..., so do not hesitate to contact me if you want to connect.

Topographic Target Light scattering - Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (ToTAL-DOAS) is a novel atmospheric monitoring technique to obtain atmospheric trace gas concentrations from scattered sunlight measurements. The main issue to successfully apply this method is the need of a telescope to identify the targets clearly and efficiently couple light in a spectrometer. Also the need of measurements with different logistic requirements (e.g. from different platforms as from mobile, airborne, vessels, etc) it is of benefit to develop a new optical system for data acquisition. There are two key aspects to take into account: One of them is the importance to preserve a constant temperature on the spectrometer's CCD. The second key aspect is to have a standalone unit which can be attached to different telescopes or to other optical devices in order to confront different experimental situations, and to be able to measure different optical parameters without the hassle of being concerned about the reliability of the spectrometer's condition. Specifically, the aim of our work was to build a standalone hermetic housing for an Ocean Optics 2000+ spectrometer with temperature stabilization and portability. In this paper a description of the DOAS-System is presented as well as the results of preliminary test measurements by monitoring the trace gases SO2 and NO2 measured at the city of Montevideo.
We present a novel image contouring method based on the polarization features of the twisted-nematic liquid-crystal displays (TN-LCDs). TN-LCDs are manufactured to work between a crossed polarizer-analyzer pair. When the analyzer is at 45 deg (instead of 90 deg) with respect to the polarizer, one obtains an optically processed image with pronounced outlines (dark contours) at middle intensity, i.e., the borders between illuminated and dark areas are enhanced. The proposed method is quite robust and does not require precise alignment or coherent illumination. Since it does not involve numerical processing, it could be useful for contouring large images in real-time, which presents potential applications in medical and biological imaging. Validation experiments are presented.
The ToTAL -DOAS (Topographic Target Light s cattering – Differential optical Absorption Spectroscopy) is a novel atmospheric monitoring technique. The aim of our work has been enhancing a prototype, previously assembled within our research group, adding to it a temperature control and developing specific control software. The whole system offers the possibility of two dimension movement for spectra acquisition with a telescope of a field of view of approximately 0.03°, which let in signals in the near-UV and visible spectral range. The enhanced DOAS system is intended to be located on the roof of our faculty building to monitor SO2 and NO2 traces above the city of Montevideo. We are presenting the results of device's characterization.
This paper discusses the design and development of an Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) for the first Uruguayan nanosatellite, AntelSat, which is being built at UdelaR University in Uruguay. The satellite consists of a twounit (2U) Cubesat, which implies that the ADCS is designed under tight mass, size and energy constraints. For the attitude determination section, data available from sensors is taken as inputs for the computation of an optimal quaternion estimator. The use of an unscented Kalman filter is also discussed. The selection of hardware and algorithms is addressed. Though observing the system requirements and restrictions, the results display that it is possible to attain reasonable attitude estimation without the need for expensive sensor setups.
