To round off March and International Women’s Month, we’re joined by Dr. Mikaela Fudolig—physicist and computational social scientist currently based at the University of Vermont.
In 2002, Mikaela participated in an experimental program for early college entrants at the University of the Philippines Diliman—taking 31 units of college courses with only 1 year of high school studies. By 2007, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, as a summa cum laude and valedictorian at the age of 16.
Mikaela later worked as an instructor at UP Diliman while finishing up her Master of Science, and eventually, Doctor of Philosophy in Physics. Her doctoral dissertation was titled, “Analytic treatment of consensus achievement in two-level opinion dynamics models of completely connected agents with single-type zealots.”
After stints as an R&D specialist at the Energy Development Corporation, Assistant Professor at the Ateneo de M

On April 22, 2007, Mikaela Irene Fudolig delivered her valedictory address at the University of the Philippines – Diliman. With a general weighted average of 1.099, she led academically in her batch and left a meaningful lesson for her fellow graduates through her graduation speech – that is to make new roads instead of taking the road less traveled.
She was only 16 at that time. Yet, evidently, Mikaela was so way beyond her years.
Known as Mikki to her friends and family, she started going to college when she was 11 years old. She was pulled out of Quezon City Science High School as a sophomore and placed into an experimental program for gifted children called the Early College Placement Program (ECPP). At age 12, she was officially enrolled at the University of the Philippines –Diliman to study physics, later graduating as summa cum laude.
Staying true to her valedictory address, she became an instructor at UP’s National Institute of Physics immediately after graduation. In
