Mark Brongcano
Mark completed the BS Applied Physics program with concentration in Materials Physics and graduated magna cum laude in 2024. He was supported by a DOST-SEI RA 7687 Scholarship and the Oblation Scholarship program. While in SanD, he studied the optical and electronic properties of corundum using first-principles simulations. His research is part of an effort to model the optical properties of gemstones.
