Marvin M. Flores

Assistant Professor

Dr. Marvin M. Flores obtained his BS Physics degree from Silliman University graduating summa cum laude (March 22, 2009). He finished his MS degree (October 2012) and obtained his PhD (July 2016) in Physics from the National Institute of Physics. He was awarded the Most Outstanding PhD Graduate of the College of Science. He was also the recipient of the NAST Talent Search for Young Scientists in 2021.

He is currently an Assistant Professor at NIP, straight from his Postdoctoral Research Fellowship on particle physics at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, under a grant from The World Academy of Sciences. Faculty, REPS and administrative staff development program OVPAA (FRASDP) Form 11.4 Postdoctoral Research Grant.

Dr. Flores is the Team Leader of the CERN – ATLAS Collaboration. Study remnants of the colliding protons at the Large Hadron Collider, and is the first Filipino member that is based in the Philippines. He heads the NIP-UPD ATLAS Group under the High Energy Physics & Phenomenology subgroup of the newly-formed GANAP (Gravity, Astronomy, Nuclear, and Particle) Physics Group at NIP. Dr. Flores is actively pursuing searches of physics signatures beyond the Standard Model for signs of supersymmetry, extra dimensions, dark matter, and others.
