Moisés Garín briefly presented his groundbreaking project on revolutionary sun sensor technology for satellite orientation during the “AI Horizons: Shaping the Future of Health, Technology, and Sustainability” event, held on March 13, 2025. The event, organized by the research groups of the Faculty of Sciences, Technology, and Engineering (FCTE) at UVic-UCC, gathered around seventy attendees at the Sala Segimon Serrallonga and highlighted the fundamental role of artificial intelligence in key areas such as health, sustainability, and technology.

Funded by ESA’s Discovery Programme, Garín’s innovative research explores using the wave-nature of light to develop compact, high-precision sensors ideal for small satellite (smallsat) applications. He emphasized how this approach could transform the efficiency and integration of these systems in future space missions.

Throughout the day, with the active involvement of doctoral students and research groups from the Faculty, a diverse program unfolded, featuring lectures by international experts, presentations by doctoral students, and a roundtable discussion on career trajectories in research.

Garín’s contribution offered a unique perspective on the application of artificial intelligence in space technology, sparking discussion and interest among attendees. These insights reinforced the interdisciplinary nature of the event, underscoring the importance of tackling global challenges with innovative solutions.

The event concluded by reaffirming UVic-UCC’s commitment to research and sustainability, providing a platform to foster collaboration among researchers and students in the field of applied artificial intelligence
