Engr. Conrad Allan Jay R. Pantua

Assistant Professor

Educational Background

PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Candidate),
University of Nottingham, United Kingdom

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering,
National University of Singapore, Singapore

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering,
De La Salle University, Manlia, Philippines

Engr. Conrad Pantua did his PhD at the Department of Architecture and Built environment at the University of Nottingham. He’s been working on projects in typhoon structural resiliency, urban heat island effects, solar pavement systems and sustainable energy in buildings. He’s also a faculty member of the Mechanical engineering department of De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines where he’s been involved in high impact projects such as the Solar car project which participated in the World Solar Challenge in Australia. Engr. Pantua obtained his MS in Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore and his BS Mechanical Engineering at De La Salle University. Prior to his stint in the academe, Mr. Pantua worked as an aviation engineer in Lufthansa Technik for 3 years.
