Dr. Benjamin B. Dingel is the visionary behind AIC-ROSES (Ateneo Research on Optical Science, Engineering, and Systems), which he conceptualized and launched in 2017 as a publication-driven, education-by-research model for engaging undergraduate physics students at Ateneo de Manila University. Remarkably, he spearheaded the group remotely from New York, while serving as R&D Director of Nasfine Photonics.

Under his leadership, AIC-ROSES quickly grew into a thriving research community. Officially recognized as a research group under the Ateneo Innovation Center in 2020, it now has around 20 student members and has produced dozens of publications. The group’s work spans both theoretical and experimental research, focusing on:

• Multilayer optics and photonics through scientific analogues and implementations
• Optical engineering in microwave photonics and network sensing
• Photonic integration and hybrid optic-electronic systems
• Applications of mathematical physics methods in optical science
• 
  

Through AIC-ROSES, Dr. Dingel has built one of the Philippines’ pioneering online-based physics research groups, equipping young scientists with the skills, mentorship, and global exposure needed to thrive in cutting-edge optics and photonics research.
