Congratulations to Dr. Rafael Guerrero, NAST Awardee

.
From the Ateneo Blueboard:

The School of Science and Engineering of Ateneo de Manila University proudly announces that Dr. Rafael A. Guerrero, Assistant Professor of the Department of Physics, was selected as awardee of the 2008 National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) Talent Search for Young Scientists in the field of Physics.

Dr. Guerrero, along with two other scientists from the University of Santo Tomas and the University of the Philippines-Los Banos (UPLB), had to present his paper before a panel of judges last April before being chosen as the grand winner.

Dr. Guerrero presented his paper on volume holographic storage which introduces bigger data storage for computers and a new way of producing images.

It will be recalled that he also won the Outstanding Scholarly Work Awards for Science and Engineering in 2006. He has been active in research in the area of photonics.

The awarding ceremonies will be held on July 10, 2008 at the Manila Hotel.

Congratulations, Dr. Guerrero. We are proud of you!
