From January 28 to February 7, Prof. Nicolás Pérez Alvarez, who is currently a Full Professor at the Facultad de Ingeniería , Universidad de la República, Uruguay, visited ICMM invited by Lorena Pardo.
He is expert on the physics of the ultrasounds and electrical engineering on the areas of industrial automatization and control, he specifically has developed his scientific carreer on:
– Applied Physics of the Ultrasounds modeling of nonlinear phenomena in power transducers based on piezoelectric ceramics, ultrasonic levitation, cavitation, …
– Design and implementation of devices using ultrasounds in the food industry ”
(Oil extraction, acceleration of reactions, sterilization, cleaning, etc.…)
– Techniques of non-destructive testing and monitoring of structural health by ultrasound, among others
– Characterization of piezoelectric materials based on the FEM of ultrasonic transducers, and techniques of numerical optimization.
– Acoustic signal processing and electrical measurements and instrumentation, which is the topic of todays talk. On this topic he presented an Invited Talk at ICMM.
