THEK Intelligence Report is a science newspaper produced through a trained editorial agent, large language models and a structured scientific workflow directed by M.Sc. (TUM) Marcelo Moncayo Theurer.
THEK earthquake-engineering publication applies the same architecture to specialized seismic and structural content. The agents are trained to reproduce the analytical, explanatory and editorial methodology of Marcelo Moncayo Theurer; final scientific direction remains human.
These platforms demonstrate how explainable AI, expert-method modeling and efficient digital infrastructure can expand access to science without requiring the budgets of a conventional newsroom or large research center.
Marcelo Moncayo Theurer delivers international keynotes, intensive courses, technical seminars, workshops and expert panels on earthquake engineering, seismic-resistant design, resilience, complex systems, finite elements, SERRA, NFF, FGET and explainable artificial intelligence.
Advisory engagements are designed for institutions that need scientific judgment, independent evaluation, methodological design or advanced tools to reduce risk, strengthen technical decisions and accelerate innovation.
THEK Research Institute and M.Sc. (TUM) Marcelo Moncayo Theurer are available for cooperation with universities, research centers, government agencies, scientific foundations and technology companies.
Professional fees are defined according to format, duration, preparation, audience, recording rights and institutional scope. When international travel is required, airfare, accommodation, meals, local transportation, insurance and all related logistical expenses must be covered by the requesting organization and confirmed in advance.
