For the second consecutive year, the Faculty of Administration and Economics (FAE) at the University of Santiago, Chile (Usach), has received international recognition. This time, the honor comes from Elsevier, one of the world’s leading academic publishers, with the Best Empirical Academic Scientific Study Award.
In recent decades, human activity has severely threatened natural marine habitats, including reefs, estuaries, and mangroves.
The increasing expansion of underwater and coastal infrastructure poses a major threat, with the construction of ports, breakwaters, and platforms leading to significant ecosystem alterations.
Driven by the expanding clean energy and advanced electronics sectors, the sustained increase in global demand for rare earth elements (REEs) necessitates more sustainable extraction methods. Studies indicate that mining tailings in north-central Chile represent a promising alternative source, containing significant concentrations of REEs like neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy).
Dr. Carlos Lizama, an academic in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (DMCC) at the University of Santiago, Chile, was recognized as one of the best mathematical scientists in Chile in the fourth edition of the international ranking compiled by Research.com, which recognizes researchers with the greatest impact in their discipline globally.
Dr. Letelier asserts that teaching ethics requires more than a theoretical framework; it must be connected to professional practice and the genuine dilemmas future professionals encounter. He states, “Applied ethics is not merely about memorizing codes of conduct, but about comprehending how ethical principles inform decision-making in complex and evolving situations.”
To address the persistent challenge of equitable access to justice, Dr. Marcela Contreras from the Faculty of Humanities is conducting a research project titled “Translation as a right: Perceptions and proposals on translation and language assistance in the Chilean legal system as a mechanism to facilitate communication and protect rights.” Her study examines how insufficient language resources in courts can impact non-Spanish speakers.
A significant discovery by Valeria Olivares, a physicist at the University of Santiago, and an international team of astronomers, published in Nature Astronomy, reveals a correlation between the surface brightness of hot and warm gas in the central filaments of galaxy clusters.
This finding provides crucial insight into the origin of these gaseous filaments, the primary fuel source for supermassive black holes and star formation.
Dr. Tomás Herrera Valenzuela is an academic at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Santiago de Chile, a specialist in sports science and leader of a line of research that crosses sports performance with the health impact of martial arts and combat sports. With more than ten years of research experience and international collaborations with renowned researchers in the field, his work has recently been recognized in two bibliometric studies published in indexed scientific journals.
