On July 2, our colleague Igor Gómez Gil de San Vicente received the final grade for his Master’s Thesis, earning a 9.4. With this mark, he successfully completed the Master’s Degree in Systems and Control Engineering, jointly offered by UNED and Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
His Master’s Thesis, entitled:
“Control and monitoring system for a large telescope dome with absolute azimuth position detection through RFID tag reading”
focuses on the development of an advanced technological solution to modernize the control system of one of the domes at the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada. The project implements an innovative azimuth localization technique based on RFID, complemented by magnetic sensors, standard interfaces such as ASCOM-Alpaca and MQTT, and an architecture built on embedded Linux systems. This modernization will improve the precision, reliability, and maintainability of the astronomical observation system.
At CeDInt, we congratulate Igor on this outstanding achievement and thank him for his contribution to the team and to the technological development of high-impact projects.
