Regine Cabato documented 7 filipino scientists who are changing the world:
•reina reyes (astrophysicist)
•irene crisologo (radar meteorologist)
•julius sempio (geoinformatics specialist, remote sensing)
•andreia carillo (astrophysicist)
•kamela ng (molecular epidemiologist)
•migs canilao (anthropologist, archaeologist)
•sarah oliva (geophysicist)
One of Reyes’ passion projects is Pinoy Scientists, a blog that features mostly young Filipino scientists across different fields and from across the world.
Reina reyes (astrophysicist)
She is a radar meteorologist based in Potsdam; Germany working on open source methods for processing weather radar data
Irene crisologo (radar meteorologist)
is helping develop an effective archive and database for images coming from Diwata-1, also known as PHL-Microsat-1, a Philippine microsatellite launched into the International Space Station and the future Diwata-2.
These are used in mapping, monitoring the environment and detecting changes in land features and land usage.
Julius sempio (geoinformatics specialist, remote sensing)
She is from Bulacan but is now based in Austin in the United States where she is finishing a doctorate degree at the University of Texas.
Andreia carillo (astrophysicist)
She splits her time between the Institute of Tropical Medicine at Antwerp in the Netherlands, Belgium and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Her current research is focused on the early detection of drug resistant-tuberculosis transmission.
Kamela Ng (molecular epidemiologist)
He specializes in environmental and urban geography. He is completing his studies at the University of Illinois in Chicago where his research involves using high resolution satellite imagery to track ancient gold trading trails and settlements in Northwestern Luzon.
Migs canilao (anthropologist and archaeologist)
She is a geophysicist based in Tulane, New Orleans, United States.
• From Naga City
(Camarines Sur), she had a background in physics and material science but preferred geology because her dad is a geologist.
