About Qubic Research
Welcome to Qubic Research. I am Dr Ertie Abana, and I am the sole author, developer, and owner of this platform.
I founded this site with a singular mission: to make life easier for researchers. From Academic Leadership to Digital Innovation My journey began in the Philippines, where I earned my Doctor in Information Technology (DIT) from Saint Paul University Philippines. I spent years in the heart of academia, serving as the Research Head at the University of Saint Louis. In that role, I led the Center for Engineering Research and Technology Innovation, overseeing diverse research programmes and helping scholars navigate the complexities of data and publication.
A New Chapter in the United Kingdom
Life has since brought me to the United Kingdom, where I have expanded my expertise into Web Development and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).
Qubic Research is the intersection of these two worlds. It is where my background in Computer Engineering and Academic Research meets my professional experience in digital technology. I created this site because I realized that while researchers are experts in their fields, they are often underserved when it comes to the digital tools and technical infrastructure they rely on every day.
Why Trust This Site?
Because I am the only author and a professional web specialist, I personally guarantee the integrity of every post. My perspective is unique because I look at research tools through three distinct lenses:
The Researcher’s Lens: I know the pressure of Scopus indexing, the hurdles of peer review, and the need for data rigour.
The Engineer’s Lens: With a Doctorate in IT, I apply an engineering mindset to deconstruct the hardware architecture of systems and the functional efficiency of web tools.
The Digital Specialist’s Lens: As a UK-based web developer and SEO, I ensure this information is accessible, accurate, and structured for the modern web.
What I Cover
I write for the global research community—from PhD candidates to career scientists—focusing on:
Research Infrastructure: High-performance hardware (laptops, GPUs, workstations) tailored for simulations and data science.
Digital Research Methodology: Navigating Scopus, identifying hijacked journals, and the ethical implementation of AI in academia.
Scholarly Productivity: Workflow automation and software reviews designed to save researchers time.
