EMC-UN has won several awards for its research work. His work includes high voltage discharges, floating electrodes, lightning protection equipment, lightning energy harvesting, computational electromagnetics, among other topics.

During the generation, transmission and reception of electromagnetic energy, Electromagnetic Interference EMI can occur in another system. The Electromagnetic Compatibility Research Group of the National University of Colombia EMC-UN, has been studying some of the sources of EMI and its influence on living beings and electrical and electronic systems. It has also advanced in the development of equipment for the generation of high power electromagnetic signals based on the principles of high voltage and, more recently, high frequency.

• The study of gas discharges
• atmospheric electrical discharges
• signal processing of electromagnetic phenomena
• electromagnetic modeling
• pulsed power and hygroscopic materials

Currently the Electromagnetic Compatibility Research Group of the  National University of Colombia has a laboratory equipped with two shielded chambers high voltage and high frequency generation equipment. Within its computational power it has two servers located at the OTIC. One with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 64GB of RAM and a 1TB hard disk
