Mr. James B. Salig, Jr. of the Department of Physics in the College of Arts and Sciences will attendย an advance schooling ย in Parallel Programmingย and Parallel Architectureย for high computingย to be held in Abdus Salam International Centreย for Theoretical Physics, Trieste Italy on October 27 to November 07, 2014. This was announced by Physics Chair Normie Jean D. Sajor during the flag raising ceremony on October 07, 2014ย at the Administration Building Ground.
Salig is a young bachelor from Clarin Misamis Occidental, is ย a 26 year-old faculty member ofย the Physics Department ย of the University/ CMU and a graduate of Master of Science in Physics at Mindanao State University- Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT).
In an up close interviewย with Salig, he said โ I am happyย somehow, but deep inside, I am also nervous because this will be the first time that I will be travelling outside the country.ย There were few times I felt I have to surrender my passion of teaching because no matter how hard I try to become effective, I still feel that I am not productive with the teaching field that I choose.ย I know, this is an opportunity for me to excel myย skills not only in teaching but for my lifetimeย research inย neuroscienceโ.
He added that the University has been very supportive in his travel for extending financial support and the approval of his request to travel on official business.
