  • Doctor of Philosophy in Physics (Ongoing), De La Salle University 
  • Master of Science in Physics, De La Salle University, 2022
  • Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering, Technological Institute of the Philippines, 2016 

Research Highlights

  • Investigates the fundamental quantum nature of black holes by developing and analyzing quantum-corrected black hole metrics. By leveraging high-resolution observational data from the Event Horizon Telescope, we aim to extract and constrain quantum parameters that could offer new insights into the fabric of spacetime and the limits of general relativity. This work bridges theoretical physics and cutting-edge astrophysical observations, opening new avenues in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity.
