Ommatidia Powers Innovative Research at The University of Texas at Austin.
Precise, advanced, contactless measurements.
Q2 Laser Radar System
University of Texas selects Ommatidia Technology
Ommatidia LiDAR has completed the delivery and hands-on training of the Q2 Laser Radar system at The University of Texas in Austin (UT Austin).
This system will support experimental research requiring precise, repeatable, non-contact measurements.
During the training session, our team covered the full workflow for getting high-quality data quickly and consistently: system setup and verification, measurement planning, acquisition best practices, and practical guidance for integrating Q2 measurements into a typical experimental campaign.
The goal is to help the lab move from installation to results with minimal friction, while maintaining strong repeatability and traceability in the measurements.
We look forward to seeing the Q2 contribute to new experimental insights and faster iteration cycles, in advanced structural dynamics and wave-driven research.
About Dr. Oudghiri-Idrissi
NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Award
In January 2025, the University of Austin announced that Dr. Oudghiri-Idrissi was receiving a NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) award with some collaborators, highlighting the ambition and real-world relevance of his research direction.
Dr. Othman Oudghiri-Idrissi, Assistant Professor in the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the Cockrell School of Engineering, chose Ommatidia’s technology to advance his cutting-edge research.
His interests span wave mechanics, mechanical metamaterials, homogenization, and inverse problems. In addition, his work in in-space assembly and manufacturing and lunar infrastructure, highlights the importance of reliable experimental validation—an area where Ommatidia’s solutions provide critical support.
We are grateful to him and to The University of Austin team for their for their continued trust and collaboration.
