Ron Michael Acda
Ron obtained his BS degree in Physics in 2024 summa cum laude. He was a recipient of a 2019 UP Oblation Scholarship. In his undergraduate thesis, he assessed how robust photosynthesis was in a cyanobacterial photosystem when chorophyll nodes are deactivated selectively. From 2021 to 2022, he was a research apprentice at the Protein Structure and Immunology Laboratory of the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Biophysics and Quantitative Biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
BS Thesis:
Robustness of cyanobacterial photosystem I chlorophyll network against targeted chlorophyll removals
