Description

Welcome to #LiknayanPodcast, where we talk to Filipino physicists about their journeys, the sparks that led them to science, and the cutting-edge research they’re working on today.

In this episode, get to know our hosts:

🔹 Dr. Philip Flores – a quantum physicist who earned his BS, MS, and PhD in physics at UP Diliman. His research dives into quantum time of arrival, the weak equivalence principle, and tunneling time. He’s now a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Born Institute in Berlin, where he works on how chiral molecules interact with light.

🔹 Dr. Reggie Bernardo – a cosmologist who also earned his BS, MS, and PhD in physics at UP Diliman. He’s known as the first homegrown Filipino gravitational physicist and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. He explores big questions in cosmology and shares insights from his research, readings, and reflections on the mysteries of the universe.

We’ll also talk about:

• Our backgrounds and how we found our way into physics
• The moments that solidified our passion for science
• Our specialized fields within physics, from quantum theory to cosmology
• The most fascinating aspects of the physics world
• Memorable research findings and projects that shaped our perspective
• Advice for aspiring physicists and curious science enthusiasts

Whether you’re a student, an aspiring physicist, or just curious about quantum physics, cosmology, and astrophysics, this episode is full of stories and insights to spark your love for science.
