]]> Three academic staff of the University comprised half of the finalists/winners of the 2024 National Academy of Science and Technology Talent Search for Young Scientists (NAST TSYS), which conferred the recognition this July 2024.

Winning the Third Prize is Inst. John Andrew C. Albay, PhD of the Department of Mathematics and Physics for his work  “Colloidal Heat Engine Driven by Engineered Active Noise.” Albay becomes the first NAST TSYS awardee of the Department.

Receiving citations are Inst. Katherine Yasmin M. Garcia, MS of the Department of Chemistry and Asst. Prof. Jame Monren T. Mercado, MA of the Department of Tourism Management.

Garcia was recognized for her work entitled “Antiproliferative and Cytotoxic Cytochalasins from 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢 Inhibit Action Polymerization and Aggregation.”

]]> Organized by the UST College of Science – Department of Mathematics and Physics and Monash University of Malaysia (MUM) School of Engineering, the Joint International Engineering and Science Symposium on Computational Modelling and Simulation (JIESSCMS) took place on September 7, 2023 in MUM. Three delegates from the UST Department of Mathematics and Physics delivered lectures on their research interests, namely Asst. Prof. John Andrew C. Albay, Ph.D. on stochastic resetting; Asst. Prof. Roland Cristopher F. Caballar, Ph.D. on ultracold atoms; and Asst. Prof. Vladimir P. Villegas, Ph.D. on quantum heat engines and refrigerators.  Delegates from MUM School of Engineering and School of Science also participated in the symposium, particularly Dr. Joseph Ho Yong Kuen lecturing on computational biomass and biopolymer engineering; Dr. Michelle Yap Khai Kun on biomedical modelling and simulation of cytotoxin; Dr. Ooi Ean Hin on computational study of sonothrombolysis; and Dr. Yeong Wai Chung on run sum charts.

Participants and speakers in the 3rd Joint Symposium between UST and MUM

College of Science’s physics coordinator, Inst. Kristan Bryan C. Simbulan, Ph.D. gave the opening remarks, which highlighted the three-year collaboration of UST and MUM. Dr. Tan Chee Pin, head of the Electrical & Robotics Engineering Department of MUM School of Engineering, gave the closing remarks to appreciate the collaborative efforts between the two universities.

The next day, Drs. Simbulan, Albay, Caballar, and Villegas held informal discussions on potential collaborations with Dr. Liang Shuan-Ni of the MUM School of Engineering and Drs. Yeong Wai Chung, Ashish Dutt, and MD Zobaer Hassan of the MUM School of Science. Avenues of collaboration discussed included possible joint research projects on physics, mathematics, and data science and analytics.
