On behalf of the UP Diliman College of Engineering community, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the following faculty members who have been conferred the UP Scientist rank under the Scientific Productivity System (SPS) of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA). This well-deserved recognition reflects their outstanding scholarly contributions and commitment to advancing research in their respective fields.
The UP Scientific Productivity System was established to encourage and reward scientific productivity among faculty members. Deserving scientists are granted the title UP Scientist (Levels I, II, and III) for a three-year period, with a corresponding monetary award, the UP Scientific Productivity Award. The title is conferred on faculty members for exceptional scientific productivity and international recognition demonstrated through publications in prestigious journals, technological outputs such as patents, international scientific awards, and service on international editorial boards.
