Eleven faculty members of the University of San Carlos were included in the 2022 AD Scientific Index which ranks scientists globally according to their individual scientific performance and the added value of their scientific productivity. 

Dr, Rommel G. Bacabac was recognized as the Best Scientist in the University and, at the same time, was ranked 80th in the entire country. His works mainly focus on biophysics, biomechanics, mechanosensing, mechanobiology, and microgravity. 

Meanwhile, the following professors were also included in this year’s ranking: 

1. Frances Edillo, Ph.D.
   (Vector Biology and Genetics)
2. Elizabeth M. Remedio, Ph.D.
   (Renewable Energy, Development Economics)
3. Noel Peter Bengzon Tan, Ph.D. 
   (Nanoscience and Technology, Membrane Technologies)
4. Enrico Limbo Enriquez, Ph.D. 
   (Domination in Graphs)
5. Paul John L. Geraldino
   (Phycology and Systematics)
6. Danilo B. Largo, Ph.D.
   (Marine Biology, Aquatic Environmental Science, Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture)
7. Fr. Jesuraj Anthoniappen, SVD
   (Materials Science)
8. Luzvisminda M. Bellotindos, Ph.D.
   (Wastewater Treatment, Advanced Oxidation Processes) 
9. Luis K. Cabatingan, M.S.
   (Waste Valorization, Novel Separation Processes)
10. Francisco M. Largo, M.A.
    (Water Resource Economics)

AD Scientific Index, which ranks scientists around the world, is considered as the first and only study that shows the total and the last five-year productivity coefficients of scientists based on the h-index and i10 index scores and citations in Google Scholar.

To our recognized Carolinian scientists and professors, congratulations!
