Elmer Peramo, a science research specialist joined the 1st IEC/ISO Joint Technical Committee (JTC) 3 Plenary Meeting as an observer, representing the Philippines and OneQuantum Philippines. 

The event, held from May 28 to May 30, 2024, in Seoul, South Korea, was organized by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) under the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE).

With over 15 years of experience in artificial intelligence (A), data science, and software engineering, Peramo’s participation, highlights the Philippines’ growing involvement in the global quantum technology discourse. OneQuantum Philippines through the Department of Trade and Industry (DT) nominated Peramo to the meeting.

“Being part of this meeting provided invaluable insights into global efforts for quantum tech standardization,” Peramo said.

Peramo has extensive experience as a Ph.D. student, S&T research specialist, college instructor, and technical consultant, where he has consistently delivered innovative solutions and completed various projects.

The meeting aimed at advancing quantum technology standards, with experts discussing key topics like quantum sensors, secure communications, and end-user applications. The diverse attendee list included delegates from the United States, Canada, Russia, the Netherlands, Japan, China, France, Germany, the UK, Korea, and Singapore.

KATS proposed a new Subcommittee on Quantum Sensors to standardize quantum sensing devices, protocols, and imaging, ensuring precision and interoperability.

Peramo’s role as an observer is a significant milestone for the Philippines in quantum tech, reflecting the country’s growing interest in the technology. There is hope that future meetings will see the Philippines taking on more active and decisive roles.

This event marks a step forward in creating a standardized approach for quantum technologies, fostering global collaboration and integration in this rapidly evolving field.
