Max Born Institute
I studied at the National Institute of Physics, University of the Philippines Diliman where I obtained my BS (2017), MS (2019), and PhD (2023) degrees under the supervision of Eric A. Galapon, PhD. My research is on quantum time of arrival operators
which were used to investigate the quantum violation of the weak equivalence principle, and the tunneling time problem. You can download my CV here for more details.
Currently, I am a postdoc at Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Olga Smirnova wherein I work on developing geometric concepts in the photoionization of chiral molecules.
Aside from physics, my interests include watching movies
and anime
, reading manga
, playing computer games
, and customizing gunpla
(gundam plastic models). I am also a big fan of DotA 2!
