SanD Interns 2019

National Institute of Physics undergraduate students Joanne Mae Adelino, Sheenah Ancheta, Marc Jason Bunagan, and Jacob Gomez participated as SanD interns for the DOST SEI Summer Practical Training Program in the Midyear term of 2019. During their internship they worked on their undergraduate research projects and help facilitate the Science Immersion Program for high school students.

Five students from the Philippine Science High School joined this year's Science Immersion Program at SanD. Jamme Omar Biscocho (CALABARZON), Dominic Angelo Briones (Central Mindanao), Chiara Jo Mari Cimeni (Central Mindanao), Erdel Jerimiah Garcia (Central Visayas), and Mohammad Azzam Rakin Macumbal (Central Mindanao) attended lectures on calculus, Github, LaTeX, and basic programming in Fortran, Mathematica, and R. They used these skills to study a stick-and-slip model for earthquake fault systems. Each of them presented their work in a poster session, where Jamme Biscocho won 5th place for the Best Poster award.

Science Internship Program

The SIP is an immersion program organized by the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) and NIP. Every midyear term, SIP participants engage in the day-to-day activities of their assigned NIP research laboratory and gain firsthand insights into the life of a Filipino physicist. The unique and challenging tasks in this program inspire many students to pursue careers in science and technology. Prior to 2015 the SIP program was known as the Summer Science Internship Program (SSIP).
