Principal Investigator.
SEVEN (Supercompact Electric VEhicle National) is a research project supported by the call for funding of the Faculty of Arts Research division. The goal was to design an electric "concept car" for shared use.
SEVEN vehicle was conceived as level III driverless car, interconnected (IoT) and for flexible manufacturing (rapid 3D printing manufacturing).
A functional prototype was manufactured in partnership with National Learning Service of Colombia, SENA, Sogamoso campus.
Some results and products of this project were:
Industrial design patent.
Winner of the 2015 Best Young Idea for Sustainable Mobility award granted by Y4TP of the International Union of Public Transport UITP and Transmilenio (see here).
International documentary about the project in Eurovision's series BIG CITIES (see documentary here).
3 research papers were published (article in English here).

Archaeological and paleontological museum
Head of Project. Chief Designer
This project was designed for the Ministry of Culture, the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History (ICANH) and the Institute of Culture and Tourism of Pamplona (North Santander). The main idea was to bring the museum to the public spaces of the towns where the archaeological and paleontological remains were found. The project allowed the peasants to recognize and value the archaeological pieces of their region, since they are the ones who find them most frequently.
