ANNA ROSE Z. EGUILLON, MSc

Anna Rose Z. Eguillon is a faculty of the Department of Biology at the De La Salle University. She received her Bachelor of Science in Biology (as Cum Laude) from Father Sartunino Urios University and Master of Science in Biology in De La Salle University – Manila. She is in great interest in Material Science and Nanotechnology Research. She have provided quantitative dimensions regarding the wettability of the water absorbing leaves of Tillandsia plants. The wettability property exhibited by Tillandsia plants provided us baseline information on the diverse nature of their biological surfaces and these aids the plants to adapt and survive in arid regions. The unique micro-/ nano-structure of the trichome wings that influence interesting wetting and liquid adherence exhibited by the leaf surfaces of the examined Tillandsia species will attract future researchers for innovations of bioinspired materials.
