AI in Deep Mining: USACH Professor Wins Codelco Competition

Thanks to his project “MWD-DEM-BIM Geotechnical Digital Twin: Rock Mass Characterization and Efficient Construction,” Dr. Alberto Fernández Osorio, a faculty member in the Department of Mining Engineering at the University of Santiago (Dimin Usach), recently won Codelco’s “Piensa Minería” competition in the Master’s degree category.

Prototype created to predict failures in ventilators begins field testing

With the aim of developing a mechanism that can predict faults in mining fans, a group of researchers from the University of Santiago de Chile, led by Dr. Sebastián Pérez from the Department of Mining Engineering (Dimin) Usach, are working on a Fondef R&D project, which has now begun field tests to prove its effectiveness in real operating conditions.
