Show map of PhilippinesThe National Institute of Physics (NIP) was established in 1983 by Presidential Executive Order No. 889[1] which transformed the Department of Physics of the College of Arts and Sciences into one of the seven research and academic institutes of the University of the Philippines Diliman - College of Science.
In 1997,[2] the NIP has been designated as a Center of Excellence by the Commission on Higher Education.[3] The research institute offers bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctorate degrees in Physics.[2] The research institute has also produced the first gravitational physicist in the Philippines.[4]
Research groups
The institute's faculty, graduate and undergraduate students are actively engaged in research in the following areas: Condensed Matter, Instrumentation Physics, Photonics, Structure and Dynamics, Theoretical Physics.[5]
Research Collaborations
In February 2014, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) donated computer equipment to NIP to improve their theoretical high-energy physics research capabilities.[6]
In February 2021, the Philippine's Maya-2 nanosatellite was successfully launched. This project was a collaboration between the Department of Science and Technology's Advanced Science & Technology Institute (ASTI) and UP Diliman's NIP, Electronics Engineering Institute, Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology, and Department of Geodetic Engineering.[7] In the same month, the NIP became an associate member of CERN's ATLAS experiment under the South African cluster.[8]
