6 Filipino
scientists who
are changing the
world
• based in Potsdam, Germany
working on open source methods
for processing weather radar
data.
• radar meteorology - Doppler
weather radars are remote
sensing instruments and are
capable of detecting particle type
(rain, snow, hail, insects, etc),
intensity, and motion. Radar data
can be used to determine the
structure of storms and to help
with predicting severity of
storms.
Irene Crisologo
Radar meteorologist
• specializes in geoinformatics and
remote sensing, is helping
develop an effective archive and
database for images coming from
Diwata-1, a Philippine
microsatellite launched into
orbit, and the future Diwata-2.
• Geoinformatics is the science
and the technology which
develops and uses information
science infrastructure to address
the problems of Earth sciences
Julius Sempio, scientist
specializing in geoinformatics and
remote sensing
• Astrophysics is a branch
of space science that
applies the laws of
physics and chemistry to
seek to understand the
universe and our place in
it.
• based in Austin in the
United States, where she is
finishing a doctorate
degree at the University of
Texas.
Andreia Carrillo
astrophysicist
• Molecular epidemiology is a
discipline that uses molecular
or genetic markers to trace the
development of a disease in a
population and to understand
transmission – population
structure and evolution of
bacterial pathogens.
• Institute of Tropical Medicine at
Antwerp, Belgium, and the
University of Amsterdam in the
Netherlands.
• Her current research is focused
on the early detection of drug
resistant-tuberculosis
transmission.
Kamela Ng
molecular epidemiologist
• Archeologists often specialize in
a particular geographic area,
period, or object of study, such
as animal remains or
underwater sites.
• Anthropology is divided into
three primary fields: biological
or physical anthropology,
cultural or social anthropology,
and linguistic anthropology.
• specializing in environmental
and urban geography.
Migs Canilao
anthropologist & archaeologist
• based in Tulane University in
New Orleans, United States
• Geophysics is the study of the
physics of the Earth and its
environment in space. One
emphasis is the exploration of
the Earth's interior using
physical properties measured at
or above the Earth's surface,
together with mathematical
models to predict those
properties.
