The 2023 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things and Intelligence System (IoTaIS 2023), held last Nov. 28 to 30 in Bali, Indonesia, celebrated a research work from Ateneo de Manila University’s electronics, computer, and communications engineering (ECCE) department with the best paper award. The awardees were the team behind the “IoT-enabled multilevel solar dryer for agriculture” paper, presented by the university’s MS electronics engineering alumnus Joseph Vincent B Lugnasin and co-authored by Ateneo Energy Research Laboratory faculty members Dr. Robert Alfie S. Peña and Dr. Samuel Matthew G. Dumlao, and the laboratory’s research group leader, Dr. Erees Queen B Macabebe.
The IEEE, or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is the world’s largest technical professional organization. It’s the trusted voice in a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers, and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power, and consumer electronics.
The best paper award, bestowed upon only three papers out of a pool of 50, recognized the outstanding contributions of the energy researchers. The selection process considered factors such as originality and significance. The winning research demonstrated a significant impact on the fields of the Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligence systems.
Ateneo de Manila’s presence was not limited to the award-winning paper, as other ECCE researchers showcased their research works at the conference. Engineer Jan Kevin A. Galicia, ECCE instructor, presented his research team’s “Fully automated telemetry system for underground water Lidar sensor,” while EcE undergraduate students Jerome Daniel P. Navarro and Radyn Matthew H. Punla impressed the audience with their team’s “Implementation of an IoT-based car park availability monitoring system.”
The IoTaIS 2023 conference served as a platform for the exchange of cutting-edge ideas, fostering collaboration among international researchers and experts. Ateneo’s impactful contributions continue to underscore its commitment to advancing innovation in IoT and intelligence systems. (Story courtesy of Ateneo de Manila University/JK Galicia)
