Research topic
AlgoReach is currently involved in several research lines relevant to society within the fields of food technology, medicine, and industrial chemistry. Our research covering topics related with food safety and quality control, detection of environmental risks, early diagnosis of diseases, prevention of occupational risks, among others, have been developed in recent years and have led to the participation in and development of a large number of research projects as well as a high number of publications in international journals of high impact.
Some lines of work that are being developed in the group are: (1) Development of spectroscopic and chemical sensors capable of analyzing small volume samples autonomously, reliably, and quickly without sample conditioning operations; (2) Development of intelligent chemical tools, not only for the above-mentioned sensors, but also for other more classic analytical equipment. These custom-developed algorithms are based on machine learning models, chaotic algorithms, fuzzy logic, etc.; (3) Development of wireless communication tools between the sensors, data processing centre, and cloud computing. Likewise, the preparation of user-friendly software is contemplated, allowing for the simple handling of the applications developed and showing the results in an intuitive way, reliably, safely, and quickly, both in portable devices (tablet, smartphones, etc.) and in computers; (4) Electronic integration of each of the parts mentioned in a single device providing portability, reliability, and security compatible with the real-time measurement of variables (in the field, diagnostic area, or production area).
