INVESTING IN FUTURE RESEARCHERS AND SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS
The UPLB Interdisciplinary Life Cycle Assessment Laboratory (ILCAL), together with the UPLB Interdisciplinary Biofuels Research Studies Center (IBRSC), is currently hosting six (6) midyear interns.
From June 8 to July 14, 2026, these students will be immersed in various research and sustainability initiatives that will allow them to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world challenges.
During the internship, the students will gain hands-on experience in:
🔹 Identifying funding opportunities and preparing technical and financial proposals
🔹 Conducting biodiesel production experiments
🔹 Process simulation using Aspen
🔹 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) projects
🔹 Institutional decarbonization roadmapping and data visualization using Power BI
To complement these activities, the interns will also participate in learning sessions led by ILCAL and IBRSC project leaders on topics such as:
📌 Social Aspects of Data Gathering by Asst. Prof. Pamela Joyce M. Eleazar
📌 Microplastics by Prof. Amelia B. Hizon-Fradejas
📌 Ecotoxicology by Prof. Janice B. Sevilla-Nastor
📌 Marginal Cost Abatement by Assoc. Prof. Maria Victoria Milo-Sumagang
📌 Economic and Financial Analysis by Prof. Nora DM. Carambas
We hope this internship will provide our interns with meaningful exposure to research, sustainability, and engineering practice while helping them develop the skills and experience that will support their future careers.
We look forward to learning and growing together over the next few weeks!
