Cyber Envergan faculty presents collaborative research in international conference

October 7, 2025

Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) College of Computing and Multimedia Studies' Assistant Professor John Rover Sinag presented a collaborative research at the 2025 IEEE International Conference on Computing, delivering a remote presentation to Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia to show how an AI-assisted, design-thinking workflow sped up a Digital Bar Experience app, Oct. 7.

Co-authored by Genrev Gabriel Rodriguez, a full-stack developer and a CCMS Information Technology alumnus, and Prof. Ian Boots Bautista from Mapua University School of Multimedia and Digital Arts, the research was a collaboration of the MSEUF CCMS, Kampay Studio, and the Mapua University School of Multimedia and Digital Arts.

“We showed that AI-enabled, prompt-to-code prototyping can compress early development without sacrificing clarity for users or developers,” Sinag said.

“Next, we will benchmark against traditional workflows and pilot the app in live venues.” Sinag added.

IEEE Xplore, a Scopus-indexed digital library, is expected to publish the paper in the coming months.

The 2025 IEEE CICOCO 2025, provided an opportunity to professionals, engineers, academics, business pioneers and industrial players worldwide to engage in dialogues, present new ideas, share, as well as exchange technologies and applications in multiple areas of computing, Information Technology and informatics.

This research advanced MSEUF’s mission to deliver transformative, outcomes-oriented, student-centered learning by merging design thinking, engineering and real-world evaluation. It reflected the core values of Excellence through rigorous testing, Unity through inter-institutional collaboration, and Fortitude as the team iterated from concept to conference presentation and publication.
