About the Lecturer

Dr. Joel Tiu Maquiling is a tenured faculty and resident geophysicist at the School of Science and Engineering, Ateneo de Manila University. He holds a PhD in Geophysics (Universita degli Studi di Padova,Italy), MSc in Physics (Ateneo) and BSc in Physics (PNC). He is currently Associate Chair and Associate Professor of the Ateneo Department of Physics. He concurrently holds the position of Physics Programs Coordinator and Head of the Ateneo Geophysics Research (Geo-R) Laboratory. He mentors and advises both undergraduate and graduate students in research dealing with geohazards and modeling, modeling the behavior of geophysical fluids (including the aerosolization of the SARS-CoV-2), granular matter behavior and dynamics, rheology, theoretical and computational fracture mechanics, seismology, soil physics, and soil stability analysis. He is a member of the Disaster Science research team of the Ateneo Research Institute of Science and Engineering (ARISE) and is a consultant of the OML Climate Center for building resilient communities. He is also an active member of the Ateneo Science Education program. He publishes in international ISI- and SCOPUS-indexed scientific journals in geophysics, pure and applied physics, disaster science, and physics education. He is a member of several learned societies and organizations, notably the European Geosciences Union (EGU), the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), the European Physical Society (EPS), the American Physical Society (APS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Optical Society of America (OSA), and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE).
