The third episode in the series is dedicated to Darwin Barayang Putungan, a computational physicist and a professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Physics at the University of the Philippines Los Baños. In his work, Putungan uses theoretical and numerical tools to study the electronic structure of materials.
Putungan obtained a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in physics in the Philippines before moving to the National Taiwan University for his PhD. In 2014 he returned to the University of the Philippines Los Baños , where he has been working since.
In 2019 he became an ICTP Junior Associate in the Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics section and he has since visited the Centre twice.
The series celebrates the 60th anniversary of ICTP's Associates Programme.
