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.

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.
