UST Engineering Faculty Member in USA


One of our Engineering Faculty members, Engr. Cristina Escudero Tiangco of the Department of Chemical Engineering, just left the Philippines to do her PhD Dissertation Research at the University of Maryland in the USA. She is one of the ten recipients of the USAID Science, Technology, Research and Innovation for Development (USAID-STRIDE) scholarships (click this link).

Engr. Tiangco has been working on her PhD in Chemistry at the UST Graduate School under the supervision of Dr. Fortunato Sevilla III (current Director of CHED Zonal Research Center at UST, and former Dean of the College of Science).

Here are the photos c/o the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Dr. Philipina Marcelo, taken during the USAID STRIDE Scholarships and Grants Awarding ceremony in Shangri-La Makati last 18 August 2014.
