Dr. Carla B. Dimalanta is recognized for important of her significant works and accomplishments in the field of Geology, specifically Geophysics. Dr. Dimalanta has contributed to the analysis of the delineation and interpretation of emplacement histories of various Philippine ophiolites, mineralization in several districts, and arc magmatism. These researches have filled needed information gaps in seismic, gravity and magnetic studies especially in terms of geophysical aspects. She has applied geophysical techniques in tectonic reconstructions and emplacement modeling of ophiolites and in investigating the mineralization potential of several areas. These works could pave the way for the responsible extraction and utilization of the country’s mineral resources and have applications in hazards assessment, land use, and planning.Sex: Female

Dr. Ma. Genaleen Diaz is recognized for her outstanding contributions to the genetic analysis of important Philippine crops such as coconut, Lufffa, Momordica and various medicinal plants through techniques that traverse cytogenetics to more advanced techniques of isozyme and DNA markers and microarrays. Her studies have contributed to a better understanding of the diversity, compatibility and phylogenetic relationships of such crops and further elucidation of the differences of makapuno and normal coconut at the molecular level. Her researches have also enriched eight laboratory manuals in genetics and cytogenetics, which she and her co-authors have published and which have benefited many students in the past ten years.
