Samahan sina Philip, Reggie, at Cherrie pagusapan kung saan nila gagamitin ang 1 bilyong piso para sa science sa Pilipinas

100 years old na ang quantum mechanics ngayong 2025. samahang niyo kami dito sa liknayan podcast para pagusapang ang history nito at ang exprience ni Philip nung nag-attend siya ng conference sa Gottingen in celebration din ng International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

Merry christmas!

In this episode of #LiknayanPodcast, we are joined by Dr. Paul Flores, a Filipino geophysicist whose research focuses on active faults, slow earthquakes, and tectonic processes beneath the ocean floor.

He completed his D.Sc. in Earth Science at Yokohama National University (Japan) as a MEXT Scholar, where he studied the mechanism of slow earthquakes in the Nankai Trough.

Dr. Flores is currently a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). Prior to this, he worked at the University of the Philippines Diliman, conducting research on marine geophysics, fault mapping, and coastal hazards in the Philippines.

Here, we discuss Dr. Flores' paper entitled "Shallow structures, interactions, and recurrent vertical motions of active faults in Lingayen Gulf, Philippines" (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590056023000178).

In this episode of #LiknayanPodcast, we break down the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit. You’ll gain clear insight into:

What is quantum tunneling?

Quantized energy levels — how quantum systems absorb/emission in “steps”

Why this matters in electrical circuits

The relation to superconductivity

Macroscopic quantum effects — quantum mechanics at visible scale

In this episode of #LiknayanPodcast, we sit down with Dr. Allan Padama, an expert from the Institute of Physics at the University of the Philippines Los Baños, to dive into the fascinating world of Computational Materials Science.

Dr. Padama discusses the significance of Density Functional Theory (DFT) in understanding materials at the atomic level and explores the challenges and opportunities for young researchers eager to enter this field. Discover how computational approaches are driving innovation and shaping the future of science and technology.

Whether you’re a student, early-career researcher, or just curious about the intersection of computation and materials science, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration!

In this episode of #LiknayanPodcast, we sit down with Dr. Mikaela Fudolig, a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Vermont, to explore the innovative field of Computational Social Science. With a unique background in physics, Dr. Fudolig applies scientific and computational principles to the study of society, examining how digital traces and cultural artifacts can offer insights into human behavior.

Dr. Fudolig's academic journey is nothing short of extraordinary. At just 11 years old, she entered the University of the Philippines Diliman through an experimental Early College Placement Program. By 16, she had earned her Bachelor of Science in Physics, graduating summa cum laude and as valedictorian of her class. She continued her studies at UP Diliman, obtaining both her Master's and PhD in Physics, completing her doctoral degree at the age of 24.

From understanding the big questions and objectives of the field to its practical applications in today's world, this episode offers a fascinating look at how computation is transforming social science research.
