Short Biography

I acquired my BS Chemistry degree in the Philippines, Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT). I then pursued my Masters Degree at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, with the thesis title of Optical Properties of Noble Metal Core-Hollow-Shell Nanostructures. Two years under the supervision of Professor Sungho Park, I found myself interested in nanomaterials particularly understanding the science behind the synthesis of such novel materials. Currently, I am a DPhil student in the Department of Materials in University of Oxford under the supervision of Professor Nicole Grobert.

Research Summary

The project that I am working on deals with the synthesis of low dimensional boron nitride nanomaterials for thermal management applications.
