Life and career[edit]

Fudolig was a sophomore at Quezon City Science High School before being pulled into the
experimental Early College Placement Program (ECPP).[2][3] At the age of 11, she began her
university education at the University of the Philippines Diliman. She was admitted without a high
school diploma and without taking the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT).[3]
In 2007, at 16 years old, Fudolig graduated with a bachelor's degree in physics, summa cum laude,
from the University of the Philippines Diliman. With a general weighted average of 1.099,[n 1] she was
the class valedictorian.[2][3][4] She then joined the faculty of the National Institute of Physics after
graduation.[5]
She earned her Master of Science degree in physics, and in 2014 her PhD from the University of the
Philippines Diliman with her dissertation entitled, "Analytic treatment of consensus achievement in
two-level opinion dynamics models of completely connected agents with single-type zealots." She
was also a Fulbright scholar for doctoral enrichment in behavioral economics at the University of
California, Irvine, where she was under the supervision of Donald G. Saari.[2][5][6]
Fudolig has worked as a research and development specialist for the Energy Development
Corporation (EDC), and as an assistant professor at Ateneo de Manila University.[6]
In 2016, Fudolig was admitted to the University of the Philippines College of Law.[2][4][5]
