The Office of Innovation, Business and Development (OIBD) concluded the 6th Saliksiklaban, the university-wide undergraduate research competition, with the presentation of twenty (20) inventions and researches from the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) category yesterday (May 27) at the Center for Food Technology and Research AVR, Lucinda campus.
The STEM category was paneled by Engr. Edward Lacson, Technology Business Incubator - Knowledge, Innovation, and Technology Transfer Office Head of the Holy Angel University; Dr. Marilene Hipolito, registered chemist and Associate Professor IV at the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST); and Engr Dennis Dela Cruz, licensed Electronics Engineer and faculty member at Bulacan State University.
“I enjoyed my entire stay here at TSU, ang gagaling ninyong lahat. Nabilib ako at sabi ko nga, pang-graduate studies level ang mga research ninyo, “ Engr. Lacson said in his speech.
The awarding ceremony was also held that afternoon to recognize outstanding research in the fields of STEM and ABLESS (Arts, Business, Law, Education, and Social Sciences).
Prof. Christine Janelle M. Santiago, OIC-Director of the Office of Gender and Development, commended all the participants for their dedication to producing gender-responsive research.
In recognition of their efforts, the young researchers will receive monetary prize on top of their certificate of appreciation.
Meanwhile, four entries in the STEM category came from the TSU Laboratory School, like the research titled, “Region III earthquake Hazard Visualization and 100-year Incidence Prediction Mapping Using Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolution Network (ST-GCN) Modeling from Tarlac-Centered Historical Data” presented by Jethro Ezekiel Nuguid, an 18-year-old grade 12 student.
“Sana hindi dito magtapos ang ating pananaliksik, ang ating kuryosidad at ang ating paggawa at paglikha, gaya ng nasabi ko kaninang umaga, ang mga research dapat nagagamit at napapakinabangan ng ating komunidad,” Atty. Jayriz Dungca, OIBD Director, said during his closing remarks.
Selected research and inventions may be subject to patent, copyright, utility model, and or industrial design depending on the decisions of the researchers, especially if they want to extend it to a certain group or community as their beneficiary.
The OIBD promotes and assists with the filing process of Intellectual Property rights of researchers and continuously protects the innovations in the university.
