Un ecosistema científico independiente dedicado a inteligencia sísmica, ingeniería de terremotos, mecánica computacional, monitoreo del sistema Tierra e innovación interdisciplinaria — operando como un think tank avanzado para el futuro de la civilización.
THEK Research Institute es un think tank científico y tecnológico independiente que genera conocimiento original, desarrolla nuevos marcos conceptuales, produce inteligencia científica y conecta disciplinas que rara vez convergen dentro de las estructuras tradicionales.
Fundado y dirigido por M.Sc (TUM). Marcelo Moncayo Theurer — Ingeniero Civil, Master of Science en Computational Mechanics por la Technical University of Munich (TU München) y con formación de posgrado en ingeniería de terremotos en BRI-IISEE, Japón, y el entorno de la University of Tokyo. Moncayo es Profesor Titular de la Universidad de Guayaquil. THEK cristaliza institucionalmente más de 25 años de trabajo en dinámica estructural, ingeniería sísmica, diseño sismorresistente, elementos finitos, métodos numéricos, mecánica computacional, programación científica y análisis del sistema Tierra.
Como think tank, THEK no se limita a aplicar conocimiento existente: desarrolla nuevos marcos matemáticos, construye modelos computacionales, sintetiza inteligencia interdisciplinaria y produce herramientas científicas accesibles para investigadores, ingenieros e instituciones. También impulsa divulgación científica, conferencias, formación interdisciplinaria y ciencia abierta.
"The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work."
