In
March 2017, Jason Maximino C. Ongpeng, assistant professor of the Civil
Engineering Department in De La Salle University- Manila, was awarded with a
Doctor of Engineering Degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan.
He was a fellow of JSPS RONPAKU from which the dissertation program was done
from fiscal year 2014 to 2017. The title of his dissertation was “Nonlinear
Ultrasonic and Acoustic Emission Investigation of Concrete Damage” with
Professor Sohichi Hirose and Professor Andres Winston C. Oreta as the Japanese and Philippine advisers
respectively.

About
JSPS Ronpaku
The aim of this
program has been to provide tutorial and financial support for promising
researchers in countries of Asia and Africa or other specified countries who
wish to obtain their PhD degrees from Japanese universities through the
submission of a dissertation without matriculating a doctoral course. Grantees
under the program (RONPAKU Fellows) are given the opportunity to visit their
Japanese advisor to receive direct supervision at the Japanese university where
they will submit their PhD thesis. The number of Ph.D. awardees from 1978 to
2015 coming from different countries are 757. From the Philippines, at present,
there are 99 Ph.D. awardees, six of which came from DLSU-Manila. For more
