CSU Physics Instructor Marco Laurence M. Budlayan’s water-based liquid lens invention with ADMU Professor Raphael A. Guerrero brings national recognition to CSU as the latest technology feature on ABS-CBN News.

What sets the innovation apart is the lens being “low-cost and easy-to-make.” They are also described as dynamically adjustable, which is achieved by “varying the water droplet volume, which changes the beam width without replacing any optical components.”

To recognize the exemplary employees and offices that advanced the pursuit of excellence and innovation in the university, the Caraga State University (CSU) launched the LIKHA Excellence Awards during the Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (PRAISE) or PASIDUNGOG on October 4, 2024.

The award system anchors on the LIKHA Agenda set by University President Rolyn C. Daguil, PhD, which outlines CSU’s strategic path toward a transformative university that drives sustainable development within and beyond the region.
