Mentorship
A selection of scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students mentored by Dr. Monterola across UP Diliman, A*STAR Singapore, NTU, and AIM — many of whom have gone on to lead labs, companies, and institutions of their own. This list is non-exhaustive and does not include the many MSc in Data Science mentees supervised at AIM.
