Welcome to the homepage of the Research on Optical Sciences, Engineering, and Systems (ROSES) group of the Ateneo Department of Physics and the Ateneo Innovation Center!
About our group
AIC-ROSES started in 2017 as a publication-driven, education-by-research model of engaging undergraduate students in the Department of Physics, School of Science and Engineering, Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines. This model was conceptualized and executed by Dr. Benjamin B. Dingel remotely, while in New York as the R&D Director of Nasfine Photonics.
AIC-ROSES established itself as an official research group under the Ateneo Innovation Center in August 2020. Now with 20 student members and 19 publications, our group deals with both theoretical and experimental research areas. We study scientific analogues and their implementations in multilayer optics and photonics. We also study optical engineering in microwave photonics, sensing in networks, and photonic integration. Additionally, we have branched out to hybrid optic and electronic systems and mathematical physics methods.

Einstein: A proposed activation function for convolutional neural network (CNN) in image classification and its comparison to ReLU, Leaky ReLU, and Tanh
Abstract: Activation functions (AFs) are integral in enabling convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to perform image classification and recognition effectively. Here, we propose a new AF called "Einstein"— a novel, piecewise, and dynamic AF defined by parameter r ...
