Filed under News 


Dr. Johnrob Bantang
Dr. Johnrob Bantang now heads the Complex Systems Group with the departure of Dr. Christopher Monterola for a Singaporean complexity team.

Dr. Bantang, also the Director of the University of the Philippines Computer Center (UPCC), will be joined by Dr. Anthony Longjas, Dr. Marissa Pastor, and Dr. Jesus Felix Valenzuela in mentoring the five graduate students and the six undergraduate students of the group.

One of the last few IPL researchers who have background both in optics (the original IPL research concentration) and complexity, Dr. Johnrob Bantang now specializes in a diverse set of topics. His interests include: Complex systems: granular matter mixing, segregation, and heap stability; cellular automata model of dynamical systems, chaotic systems, complex networks and social dynamics; ordinary differential equation model of virus-cell interaction; Membrane system simulation using Brane calculus formalism; Optics and imaging: focused light propagation and imaging through turbid media.
