...there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure...

Mabuhay and welcome to SanD!
This is the official website of the Structure and Dynamics Group (SanD) of the National Institute of Physics at the University of the Philippines Diliman. SanD was established in 2003 and is one of the youngest of the six research laboratories of the NIP. The areas of specialization of SanD scientists include computational physics, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, and quantum information theory. A recurring theme of SanD's research is the interplay between the structure of a physical system and its dynamical behavior. SanD is also developing competency in high-performance computing on a custom-built computing cluster to take advantage of multi-core computers for intensive numerical calculations.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, held the first CERN Philippines School at the National Institute of Physics, University of the Philippines Diliman from 31 March to 8 April 2014. The event was organized by Caesar Palisoc of NIP and André David of CERN.
