What is Ateneo KISLAP?
What is Ateneo KISLAP?
Humanity has experienced numerous major viral outbreaks in the past two decades, namely: severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), swine flu (H1N1 Influenza), Ebola, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Zika virus, and the most recent and still ongoing Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) or more popularly known as Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We have seen firsthand how a pandemic can quickly get out of hand if we are unequipped with the proper technologies that can address these kinds of medical issues. Thus, research on biomedical sensors has been more prominent due to its advantages for applications related to clinical analysis and healthcare.
Ateneo KISLAP aims to develop an optimized design for the sensor itself without the bioreceptors or the complete setup of the biosensor, however, ensuring that efforts towards this can be shared to other experts and our fellow students so that eventually, there will be more people working with us in pursuit of developing the photonics sector in the Philippines.
Ultimately, Ateneo KISLAP envisions to have these technologies readily available to us: initiating more innovation and preparing us for the next nationwide issue that can be addressed by new technologies.

[2021 November 25] Winning and contract-signing for DOST-YIP
The Ateneo KISLAP team composed of Lenz Dagohoy (4 BS Physics), Mr. David Bambalan (4 BS Applied Physics - Material Science Engineering), and Dr. Benjamin Dingel (Mentor and Head of the Ateneo ROSES Laboratory under the Department of Physics) won the 2021 DOST-Young Innovators Program (DOST-YIP) sponsored by DOST-PCIEERD. Team Ateneo KISLAP was selected as one of the 8 winning teams out of 103 proposals, and the first Ateneo research student team to win the prestigious yearly national competition. The team will receive a research grant amounting to Php785,600 under the DOST-YIP. The official contract signing ceremony was held virtually last Thursday November 25, 2021, attended by the AdMU's SOSE Dean Dr. Raphael Guerrero, the DOST-PCIEERD Executive Director Dr. Enrico Paringit, and the Chief Science Research Specialist of PCIEERD-HRIDD Dr. Ruby Raterta. The team's project entitled "Novel microring resonator (MRR)-based optical sensor using Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)" aims to design and optimize a novel high-sensitivity optical sensor using PIC technology. This project hopes to contribute to the development of the optics and photonics sector in the Philippines.[2021 September 08] Shortlisted for funding
