Biography

I am a MS Student focusing on nuclear reactor optimization using machine learning techniques. Over the past years, I have actively pursued opportunities in nuclear energy despite the minimal resources regarding the subject in the Philippines. With the goal of advocating nuclear energy in our country, I was also honored to be one of the twelve nationwide chosen s cientific guides for the 1st International Nuclear Science Olympiad. My research interests lie in applying reinforcement learning to nuclear reactor design, with the aim of contributing to the Philippines’ clean energy transition.
