2023 Milestone: Climbing the Academic Ladder to the World's Top 2% Scientists

I am incredibly excited to share some extraordinary news with all of you today. Just this October, I had the distinct honor of being recognized as one of the world's top scientists by Stanford University.

The Journey to the Top 2%

When I started my research journey, I had no idea where it would take me. Interestingly, research isn't even part of my job description; it's not something I'm required to do. I sometimes humorously say that my idea of relaxation involves diving into research.

Fast forward a few years, and I find myself in the esteemed top 2% of scientists globally according to Scopus data. But what's even more remarkable is that this recognition is not just personal; it's a testament to the power of persistence and dedication.

Picture this: out of the 100,000 researchers worldwide who received this recognition, only 50 hail from the Philippines. And here's the kicker - with just six years of research experience under my belt, I proudly secured the 24th position among these accomplished individuals. Talk about climbing the academic ladder!

The Significance of This Achievement

Now, you might be wondering, why is this achievement so significant? It's more than just a plaque on the wall or a line on my CV. It's a nod to the countless hours spent in pursuit of knowledge, the relentless curiosity that drives me, and the passion I have for education and information technology.

This recognition doesn't just belong to me; it belongs to the entire community of researchers and educators pushing the boundaries of knowledge. It highlights the importance of our contributions to the ever-evolving world of information technology and educational innovation.

What's Next?

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, juggling multiple ongoing projects in my capacity as the director of the Educational Innovation and Technology Hub, my dedication to pushing the boundaries of knowledge and innovation in education and technology remains steadfast. Despite the demands of my role, I see each challenge as an opportunity for growth and progress. I'm eagerly looking forward to the exciting ventures and discoveries that the future holds for our hub and the broader academic community
