Food as Culture: Analyzing the Social and Cultural Significance of Cuisine in Chile

Food, more than just a daily activity, is a reflection of a country's social, economic, and cultural organization. This is the view of Claudia Deichler, graduated from the Master's in History at FAHU, who has developed pioneering research in the area of food history, combining the rigor of her academic training with dissemination on social media, through spaces such as the Instagram account @historia_dela_alimentacion.

Graduate recognized among the 100 Young Leaders of 2024 for opening new possibilities in the field of energy technology

In 2024 Carolina Manquian Villalobos became a doctor in Engineering Sciences, specializing in Materials Engineering Sciences at the University of Santiago de Chile. In her doctoral thesis she managed to adapt a type of metal-organic crystal with properties like those of a super capacitor, which could transform the way we store and generate energy, for example, for automobiles. This work led to an article published in the nanoscience magazine Nanomateriales. 

Innovation in photovoltaic solar energy: The story of Leandro Ampuero, winner of Despega Usach 2017

Leandro began his career at Usach in 2011, when he enrolled in the Telecommunications Technology program. From the beginning, he showed a strong interest in technology and entrepreneurship, which led him to become actively involved in university projects and to be part of the Student Center of his career. “I spent a lot of time in the networking lab, which motivated my link between technology and entrepreneurship,” he recalls. These experiences not only broadened his perspective but also allowed him to identify his passion for creating value through technology.
