Francis Ivan Latoja

Francis obtained his BS degree in Physics in 2025 summa cum laude. His undergraduate thesis involved exploring the electronic properties of twisted NiPS₃ through density functional theory to find out its potential in spintronic and semiconducting applications. His undergraduate studies was supported by a DOST–SEI Undergraduate Merit Scholarship. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Physics at the National Institute of Physics as a Teaching Associate.

BS Thesis: 

Exploring the electronic properties of twisted bilayer NiPS₃ using density functional theory
