Project Leader
Maricor N. Soriano, PhD
Program Leader, STAMINA4Space (March 2021 - Present)
Dr. Maricor Soriano is a professor of physics at the UP Diliman who specializes in developing hardware and software tools for video and image processing. Her work spans multidisciplinary domains such as coral reef imaging (for which she won the DOST PCIEERD R&D prize in 2018), cultural heritage conservation, video analysis of sports, and medical imaging. She was named NRCP Outstanding Young Scientist in 2006, Third World Academy of Science Physics Prize recipient in 2009, and The Outstanding Women in the Nation's Service (TOWNS) awardee in Applied Physics in 2013.

Research interests: Color, Video, and Image Processing applied to Marine Science, Art Conservation, Biometrics, and Spectral Medical Imaging; Physics Education
