An Associate Professor at the National Institute of Physics at the University of the Philippines Diliman. His research work is centered on theoretical condensed matter physics, with a current focus on unconventional superconductivity, strongly correlated electron systems, and disorder, and his work has frequently involved collaborations with experimentalists. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Ateneo de Manila University and his graduate degrees from Johns Hopkins University (M.A.) and Leiden University (Ph.D.), where he performed his dissertation research under the supervision of Jan Zaanen. Prior to joining NIP, he was a postdoctoral associate in Peter Hirschfeld's group at the University of Florida, and spent time as a visiting researcher at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
