SPP2026 Editorial Board and Reviewers
Abstract
The Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas (SPP) Physics Conference is an annual venue for its members and students to share the results of their research and to form and strengthen collaborations with their academic, government, and industry partners. It also serves an important and effective training ground for our young physicists to develop critical technical and communication skills that they need to be part of the global physics community.
Contributions to the Conference are full-length scientific articles that provide a revealing cross-section of the state of physics and applied physics research in the Philippines. The Proceedings of the Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas is a collection of these peer-reviewed articles and the Samahan strives to ensure the quality and accessibility of the work it distributes.
The Proceedings of the SPP Editorial Board is composed of physicists that oversee the review process of all submissions to the Conference. They seek the professional evaluations of scientists, engineers, and educators from the SPP Pool of Reviewers who are experts in their corresponding technical fields.
