Ahmad Haris Rasidi, FMIPA Physics Student Passes Selection to Participate in BRIN Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System Workshop

News, Student, , , ,

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) held a workshop on the use of the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System, or EPICS, program at the Ahmad Baiquni Building, Babarsari, Yogyakarta, from June 10 to 14, 2024. The theme of the workshop was “Development of EPICS-Based Instrumentation and Control Systems in Accelerator Research Facilities.” The material was delivered by Dr. Keerati Manasatitpong and Mr. Natthawut Suradet from the Thai Research Institute (SLRI), or Synchrotron Light Research Institute. BRIN is collaborating with the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) to organize the workshop.

To take part in the workshop, participants from universities in the country are given the opportunity to take part in the selection stage after registering. After being declared successful, Ahmad Haris Rasidi, a student from the Physics Department at FMIPA UNEJ, received an invitation to the EPICS workshop along with accommodation which was fully borne by BRIN. “I will take advantage of this golden opportunity to learn more about the EPICS program in industrial control systems,” he said. Haris hopes that there will be a lot of new knowledge that can be brought back to Jember after attending the workshop, of course valuable experience during the five days of training.

FMIPA UNEJ Invites Prof. Edy Tri Baskoro from ITB, Discussing the Opening of a New Study Program

News, , , , ,

FMIPA Jember University will open several study programs, including an actuarial study program in the Mathematics Department. In the initial stage, Prof. Edy Tri Baskoro, M.Sc., Ph.D., from FMIPA ITB, discussed the establishment of an actuarial study program (14/6). The Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., invited the task force team to establish a new study program for the Department of Mathematics to take advantage of this discussion. “The presence of Prof. Edy from ITB is a great opportunity to explore what needs to be prepared when opening a new study program, in this case actuarial,” he said. Present at the event were the Chair and Secretary of the Mathematics Department, as well as the preparation team for the establishment of a new study program in mathematics.

Prof. Edy said that the undergraduate actuarial study program at FMIPA ITB is a scientific discipline that applies mathematics and statistics to analyze and manage risk. “The areas analyzed include insurance, both life insurance and general insurance, pension funds, investment and banking,” he explained. It is also said that graduates of the actuarial undergraduate study program have career opportunities to become actuaries, investment managers, risk managers or can also be academics as lecturers or researchers. The first step is to classify the courses and teaching staff who will be involved in teaching in a study program that can be said to be new in Indonesia. Continue reading →

News, Student, , , ,

FMIPA UNEJ Mathematics students took part in the Statistika Ria dan Festival Sains Data (SATRIA DATA) competition in the National Statistics Competition (NSC) at Mathematics Laboratory 1 FMIPA UNEJ (3/6). Followed by 11 students, they will solve broad statistical problems and analyze the data carefully so they can provide the right solution. Accompanied by Mathematics lecturer Firda Fadri, S.Si., M.Si, students must solve questions on probability theory, statistical theory/satematics statistics, and categorical data analysis. “Online preliminary round with a model like UTBK plus supervision via the zoom application,” explained Firda.

Apart from NSC, together with the team from FASILKOM, students also take part in SATRIA DATA in other fields, namely the Statistics Essay Competition (SEC), Statistics Infographic Competition (SIC), and Big Data Competition (BDC). Deputy Dean III FMIPA UNEJ, Dr. Edy Supriyanto, S.Si., M.Si., said that SATRIA DATA’s annual agenda will always be supported and provided with assistance from competent lecturers. “We will support SATRIA DATA from mentoring to supporting facilities so that our students excel at the national level,” he said. According to the schedule, the final or national-level implementation will be held at Telkom University, Bandung. Continue reading →

Guest Lecture at the FMIPA Chemistry Department Presented Ari Setyono, Pertamina Offshore Pipeline Practitioner

News, Student, , , , , ,

The Chemistry Department, FMIPA UNEJ, held a guest lecture presenting Ir. Ari Setyono, Pertamina offshore pipeline practitioner (17/5). Ari has experience working for several large oil companies overseas as a pipeline engineer. “The material will be more about my personal experience when working abroad; we can compete with foreign workers in the fields we are good at,” said the ITS Mechanical Engineering alumnus. We are told about installation techniques and pipe maintenance, which involve chemistry, namely corrosion. “At the beginning, I will introduce pipe installation techniques, and later, the part that will be interesting for chemistry students is about corrosion,” he continued.

Ari explained in general how the pipe is located on the seabed, how to install it, and how to maintain the stability of the pipe by having to know about soil studies, soil compression, and the process when approaching the beach. “Apart from installation, we must also pay attention to pipe protection from other elements, such as shipping lanes and port areas with lots of anchors that could endanger the pipe route,” he explained. Protection related to chemistry, namely corrosion, is discussed, including the form of loss and the rate of corrosion. The discussion was interesting because, in chemistry, there was a course that dissected corrosion. Through this guest lecture, it can attract interest so that there will be a return to the corrosion chemistry course. Continue reading →
