 He has led capacity building programs, with generous support from the DOST, to increase the participation of SUCs and private universities in the field of microelectronics research. His research interests include low power reconfigurable analog circuits, low energy wireless sensor nodes, and biomedical as well as environmental devices and systems. He is currently working on an online platform to use IoT devices in redefining air quality monitoring in the country through the DOST funded UP Center for Air Research in Urban Environments (UP CARE). He is also working on an AI/ML assisted footwear-based monitoring device for home based elderly monitoring.

He received both his bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of the Philippines – Diliman and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Imperial College London in the United Kingdom.
