<br />
The Instrumentation Physics Laboratory (IPL) is one of the research laboratories of the National Institute of Physics (NIP). It promotes an atmosphere of learning and collaboration among teachers, graduate, and undergraduate students in building a scientific tradition in the Philippines. IPL started as a laboratory working on optics and signal processing. Now, it has expanded into other fields in the theoretical and applied physics as shown by its division into different sub-groups.<br />
<br />
==<span style= "text-decoration:underline">Sub-groups</span>==<br />
<br />
====Complex Systems Group====<br />
Complex systems include a wide range of systems whose emergent features upon interaction are not predictable from isolated components. Our group combines theoretical and experimental approach to make high impact contributions in understanding the dynamics of granular materials, social and complex networks, and synchronization patterns.Complex networks, neural networks, differential equations, agent based modeling, and cellular automata are some of the techniques used to describe complex systems under study.<br />
<br />
Granular Materials: <br />
Landslides, debris flows, and avalanches among others are examples of processes in which our understanding of the dynamics is quite limited because the physics associated with granular matter is still unresolved. Describing granular material is still a challenge owing to the fact that the collective behavior of an ensemble of numerous solid grains does not obey any known hydrodynamic equations. Our group looks scaling principles that will allow the statistics of large events be replicated in table top set-ups. Our current experimental and theoretical work on landslides, granular mixing and clogging, and miniature granular mounds are getting good reviews from the international community.<br />
<br />
Complex Networks: <br />
Our group intends to utilize the tools that have recently been developed in the field of complex systems (e.g. neural networks, self organized criticallity, simplex projection, etc) to quantify the forces that drive the evolution of social systems - a field referred to as sociometry. Understanding how each of these forces interacts might lead to insightful institutional policies that will allow a more efficient design and implementation of community projects, disaster management initiatives, and other social networks related activities. We aim to catalyze interdisciplinary collaborations among social and natural scientists and serve as the major gatekeepers of critical information relating to social attributes of Philippine culture. It has to be noted that many organizations in the USA attempt to improve their efficiency through sociometric analyses. Among our interests include dynamics of: (1) interaction in a classroom (Complexity 2008), (2) multilevel marketing (Physica A 2008), (3) Gossip propagation, (4) Public opinion, (5) Family planning and (6) Social networking.<br />
<br />
Synchronization: <br />
Network elements communicate and exhibit collective behavior for efficient functioning. Our group looks into the adjustment of the rhythms of natural and artificial systems due even if the interaction is weak or even below the detectable threshold. Current research thrusts of the group include noise induced pattern formation, spatial mode, time series analysis, particle tracking, transverse stability and synchronization of spatial modules in semiconductor lasers. The synchronization group seeks the application of synchronization from quantum systems to its application to industry.<br />

<br />
====Photonics Group====<br />
<br />
The Photonics Group has 2 subgroups, namely the Laser Microscopy Group, and the Wavefront Engineering Team.<br />
<br />
The Laser Microscopy Group develops and constructs advanced microscope systems for rapid and non-invasive characterization of embedded defects inside semiconductor microchips. This has led to investigations on semiconductor defect localization using their absorption properties (via near-IR spectral imaging), thermal gradient mapping of integrated circuits and thermoreflectance imaging using a custom-built spectral microscope. Current research thrusts have extended the application to biomedicine. These include five-dimensional imaging of mouse embryos using two-photon excitation spectral microscopy; biomedical optics applied to pathology; spectral microscopy applied to biophotonics and forensics; and near-field scanning microscopy.<br />
<br />
The Wavefront Engineering Team (WET) is interested in the application of recent advances in optical technology to various instrumentation research ventures. In particular, we are concerned in addressing two-dimensional phase, amplitude and state-of-polarization patterns of a coherent beam using programmable spatial light modulators to generate novel three-dimensional (3D) light patterns. The possibilities of these complex 3D optical fields point towards applications in optical microscopy; multiple beam optical trapping; micro-fabrication via nonlinear photo-polymerization; complex field coupling to advanced optical waveguides coupling for fiber sensors and more. Generation of the 3D optical fields makes use of a blend of interferometry-based techniques, in particular phase contrast and computer generated holography.<br />
<br />
Group Leaders:<br />
<br />
* Caesar A. Saloma, PhD Professor<br />
* Giovanni A. Tapang, PhD Associate Professor<br />
<br />
====Video and Image Processing Group====<br />
<br />
The group works on improving and developing new methods of acquisition and manipulation of images and other signals from cameras and microscopes to extract and enhance information. Currently, the group concentrates on the following applications: spectral imaging (bioluminescence and spectral microscopy); marine signal and image processing (coral reef classification and optical properties of coastal waters); human color vision; biometrics (gait imaging and human tracking); and art conservation (onset of surface defects, color rejuvenation, and texture analysis of paintings).<br />

== Organization Profile ==<br />
<br />
The UP Physics Association (UPPA), founded in 1980, is the official academic organization in the University of the Philippines Diliman primarily dedicated to the promotion and advancement of Physics in and out of the University. Recognizing itself as an agent of the University in the pursuit of higher standards of academic performance and service to the Filipino science community, the UPPA has been a venue for Physics enthusiasts to come together for the fulfilment of sacred thrust of leadership, rendition of service to the people and integration of Physics students into the university culture.<br />
<br />
For more than 30 years, the UPPA has been actively holding various activities mainly intended for the manifestation of its goals. Since 2004, when the first PISIKAalaman, an annual Physics Quiz Bee for high school students in the National Capital Region, was held, the UPPA has been earnestly striving for the development and expansion of the event, for the association believes that through this, it is able to provide a channel for the students to excel and appreciate the beauty of Physics outside their classroom. With utmost pride, the UPPA imparts the success of Philippine Young Physicists’ Tournament, a nationally accredited version of the International Young Physicists’ Tournament also known as the Physics World Cup. These are just few of the many undertakings the organization holds in the firm belief that an understanding of the nature of the physical universe shall benefit all humanity.<br />
<br />
This is the UP Physics Association, bringing fun to Physics life!<br />
<br />
==General Objectives==<br />
The UPPA is guided by the following objectives:<br />
* To promote the common interest and individual development of physics majors and other students in this field<br />

== Organization Profile ==<br />
<br />
The UP Physics Association (UPPA), founded in 1980, is the official academic organization in the University of the Philippines Diliman primarily dedicated to the promotion and advancement of Physics in and out of the University. Recognizing itself as an agent of the University in the pursuit of higher standards of academic performance and service to the Filipino science community, the UPPA has been a venue for Physics enthusiasts to come together for the fulfilment of sacred thrust of leadership, rendition of service to the people and integration of Physics students into the university culture.<br />
<br />
For more than 30 years, the UPPA has been actively holding various activities mainly intended for the manifestation of its goals. Since 2004, when the first PISIKAalaman, an annual Physics Quiz Bee for high school students in the National Capital Region, was held, the UPPA has been earnestly striving for the development and expansion of the event, for the association believes that through this, it is able to provide a channel for the students to excel and appreciate the beauty of Physics outside their classroom. With utmost pride, the UPPA imparts the success of Philippine Young Physicists’ Tournament, a nationally accredited version of the International Young Physicists’ Tournament also known as the Physics World Cup. These are just few of the many undertakings the organization holds in the firm belief that an understanding of the nature of the physical universe shall benefit all humanity.<br />

The National Institute of Physics is one of the academic units under the [[UP College of Science|College of Science]] in [[UP Diliman]], Quezon City. The Institute offers the following degree programs: BS Physics, BS Applied Physics (with concentrations in materials physics and instrumentation physics), Diploma in Physics, MA Physics, MS Physics and Ph.D. Physics. On the average, the Institute has about 300 students for all levels in the baccalaureate degree programs and about 50 in the graduate degree programs per year. It also services the physics course requirements of over 1000 non-major students per semester and co-implements the graduate programs in environmental science and materials science of the College of Science and the College of Engineering, respectively.<br />
<br />
The Institute is the leading center of scientific resarch in physics and applied physics in the Philippines. The NIP research groups are autonomous clusters within the institute that help realize our objective to become one of the best school of physics in this region of the Pacific. Utilizing a comprehensive training via an apprenticeship scheme, thesis work (required for undergraduate and graduate degree) is carried out under the supervision of professors and staff. Each laboratory is managed by a program coordinator who is chosen by the NIP Executive Council after the recommendation of the NIP Director.<br />

== Organization Profile ==<br />
<br />
The UP Physics Association (UPPA), founded in 1980, is the official academic organization in the University of the Philippines Diliman primarily dedicated to the promotion and advancement of Physics in and out of the University. Recognizing itself as an agent of the University in the pursuit of higher standards of academic performance and service to the Filipino science community, the UPPA has been a venue for Physics enthusiasts to come together for the fulfilment of sacred thrust of leadership, rendition of service to the people and integration of Physics students into the university culture.<br />
<br />
For more than 30 years, the UPPA has been actively holding various activities mainly intended for the manifestation of its goals. Since 2004, when the first PISIKAalaman, an annual Physics Quiz Bee for high school students in the National Capital Region, was held, the UPPA has been earnestly striving for the development and expansion of the event, for the association believes that through this, it is able to provide a channel for the students to excel and appreciate the beauty of Physics outside their classroom. With utmost pride, the UPPA imparts the success of Philippine Young Physicists’ Tournament, a nationally accredited version of the International Young Physicists’ Tournament also known as the Physics World Cup. These are just few of the many undertakings the organization holds in the firm belief that an understanding of the nature of the physical universe shall benefit all humanity.<br />
<br />
This is the UP Physics Association, bringing fun to Physics life!<br />
<br />
==General Objectives==<br />
The UPPA is guided by the following objectives:<br />
* To promote the common interest and individual development of physics majors and other students in this field<br />
* To advance the study and awareness of [[physics]] in all its aspects among students and the general public<br />
* To cooperate with the UP Physics faculty for the improvement of the [[National Institute of Physics]]<br />
<br />
==Internal Structure==<br />
The UPPA is led by the Executive Committee, which is composed of the three officers and the six committee heads. The officers are the President, the Vice President for External Affairs, and the Vice President for Internal Affairs. The committee heads lead the six committees, namely the Secretariat, the Finance Committee, the Academic Affairs Committee, the Membership Committee, the Projects Committee, and the Public Affairs Committee.<br />
<br />
Elections are held annually, and all members are allowed to vote. The UPPA is also composed of a junior faculty adviser and a senior faculty adviser, who helps guide the Association and align the activities of the Association with the National Institute of Physics. The faculty advisers are selected by the Executive Committee from the teaching faculty of the institute.<br />
<br />
==Membership==<br />
The UPPA is exclusively open for membership for undergraduate students of the [[University of the Philippines Diliman]]. The applicants undergo a semester-long application process, in order to learn about the workings of the Association and to get acquainted with all the resident members. <br />
<br />
As an academic and scientific organization, the application process includes a seminar, wherein the applicants would present research papers, and a comprehensive examination and interview, aside from other activities.<br />
<br />
==Activities==<br />
All the activities of the Association are aligned with its objectives. Several internal activities are done throughout the academic year based on the interests of the members, such as the Committee Cup, Sem Starter and Sem Ender Parties, Tribute for Graduating Members, Christmas Party, and Research Meetings. There are also regular internal events such as the monthly General Assembly meeting and the Annual Meeting which takes place at the end of the second semester. <br />
<br />
There are two main activities held by the Association, '''PISIKAalaman''' and '''Physics Month'''. PISIKAalaman is an annual physics competition for high school students, which has already reached its tenth year <ref>[http://pisikaalaman20x3.weebly.com/ PISIKAalaman 20X3]</ref>. It has been endorsed by the Department of Education since 2006. [[File:PKLogo.png|left|thumb|The official logo for PISIKAalaman 20X3.]] [[File:PKpic.jpg|thumb|A picture from PISIKAalaman 2012.]]<br />
<br />
Physics Month is an annual celebration of physics in the [[National Institute of Physics]], which is usually held in the month of February. It includes several events, which may vary from year to year, such as:<br />
* PISIKAwise-an: A general knowledge quiz bee<br />
* NIP Open House and Lab Tour<br />
* PISIKAlakasan: A race involving obstacles<br />
* UPPAg-Ibig <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/uppagibig UPPAg-Ibig Page]</ref>: A mock-wedding<br />
* PISIKAtakawan: An eating contest<br />
* Mutya ng NIP: A cross-dressing beauty pageant [[File:Uppag.jpg|thumb|A poster from UPPAg-Ibig 2013.]]<br />
<br />
Other events aside from the PISIKAalaman and the Physics Month include the Philippine Young Physicists Tournament <ref>[http://pypt2013.blogspot.com/ PYPT 2013]</ref>, the SCIENCYE, the Decasecond Film Festival, and the Integration Bee <ref>[http://integbee.weebly.com Integration Bee 2014: Into the Galaxy]</ref>.<br />
<br />
The UPPA also holds free tutorials for various Physics courses. Partnerships with other organizations and companies are also cultivated all year round. Several infographics about physics and Philippine society, such as national elections, calamities, and other current events, are regularly posted at the organization's online portals.

<br />
The five-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physics aims to provide students with a comprehensive, thorough, and rigorous training in physics as a solid preparation for further advanced studies in physics at the graduate level, and a general education in the humanities, social sciences, and other natural sciences that will enable them to become broadly educated and socially conscious physicists. In their fifth year, students are required to submit a thesis in order to expose them to actual physics research. This program is specifically designed for students who intend to pursue professional research and/or teaching careers in physics.<br />
<br />
B.S. in Applied Physics Program<br />
<br />
The five-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics has two areas of concentration -- Instrumentation and Materials Science. This aims to provide the students with a broad and adequate training in physics as a foundation for careers in applied or interdisciplinary sciences like electronics, computing, biophysics, superconductivity, thin film processes, liquid crystals, geophyiscs, and physics chemistry. In their fifth year, students are also required to submit a thesis. General education in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences for a broader educational base and social consciousness are likewise stressed and developed.<br />
<br />
<b>Graduate Program</b><br />
<br />
Ph.D. in Physics Program<br />
<br />
The program leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics aims to provide the students with an advanced graduate training in physics that will fully prepare them for scientific careers as top level physicists in academic and/or research institutions. This program is specifically designed to enable students to gain a deep and thorough knowledge of at least one specialized area of physics, to obtain a broad knowledge of several other major areas of contemporary physics, and to acquire the competence to undertake original and independent research in experimental or theoretical physics. After taking the core courses in this program, students may be sent to selected laboratories in Japan, Germany, Australia, USA, and the UK, among others, to do part of their research towards a Ph.D. dissertation. In some areas the full Ph.D. program is implemented at the NIP.<br />
<br />
M.S. in Physics Program<br />
<br />
The program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Physics aims to provide students with an adequate graduate training in Physics that will prepare them for scientific careers as medium-level physicists in academic and/or research institutions. The M.S. degree may be obtained through the thesis option or the non-thesis option, which includes a written comprehensive examination.<br />
<br />
M.A. in Physics Program<br />
