Dr. Christopher Monterola
Dr. Christopher Monterola, one of the leaders of the IPL Complex Systems Group, now heads the complex systems research work in Singapore. He joins the Institute of High Performance Computing, where Dr. Legara earlier started her work as scientist.

Dr. Monterola started to group together the researchers doing works on complexity in the late 2000s. Since his return from postdoctoral work until today, the group has become one of the most productive research groups in the NIP. Last year alone, six of the PhD students mentored by Dr. Monterola graduated, with one of them (Dr. Erika Fille Legara) receiving the Most Outstanding PhD Graduate award from the University of the Philippines. Dr. Monterola also received several distinctions, among them the NRCP Lifetime Achievement Award for Physics for his works on neural networks, granular materials, and social networks.
