Profile Summary

I am a Biological Engineer (BS & MS, Mapúa University) and currently serve as a Science Research Specialist II at the Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST–PTRI). My expertise lies in biomedical textiles, biomaterials, and biopolymers, with practical experience in nanofiber scaffolds for wound healing and drug delivery, silk fibroin-based sutures, and polymer-based biomaterials. I have authored 4 Scopus-indexed publications, filed a patent with IPOPHL, and have presented my work internationally, including a 1st place award at PAASE 2025. My research focuses on developing sustainable, functional materials for healthcare applications, with outputs spanning electrospinning, polymer melt-spinning, bioprinting, biomaterials characterization, and biosensing textiles. As a consultant, I can provide support in: Scientific writing, editing & peer review (journal articles, grants, patents) Experimental design & data interpretation in biology, chemistry, and materials science Literature reviews, technology scouting, and R&D strategy Academic and industry collaborations on biomedical or bioengineering projects I am committed to delivering high-quality, reliable outputs tailored to client needs—bridging the gap between academic rigor and practical application.
