  • MABUHAY AND WELCOME TO SAND!

    This is the official website of the Structure and Dynamics Group (SanD) of the National Institute of Physics at the University of the Philippines Diliman. SanD was established in 2003 and is one of the youngest of the six research laboratories of the NIP. The areas of specialization of SanD scientists include computational physics, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, and quantum information theory. A recurring theme of SanD's research is the interplay between the structure of a physical system and its dynamical behavior. SanD is also developing competency in high-performance computing on a custom-built computing cluster to take advantage of multi-core computers for intensive numerical calculations.

Liknayan is the Filipino word for physics. It is also the name of a little yellow fishing boat in Bantayan Island.

After typhoon Haiyan swept through the Philippines last November, several organizations and individuals rallied to help those affected by the storm. In addition to participating directly and indirectly in the relief efforts of NIP and UP Diliman, SanD members supported the Bantayan Island Back to Sea Project by raising funds to rebuild a banca for the fisherfolk of Bantayan Island in Cebu.

The 2014 call for apprenticeship has ended.

Each apprenticeship cycle begins in April of the current year.
