The Mathematics Department of FMIPA UNEJ held the 2026 National Seminar on Mathematics, Geometry, Statistics, and Computation (SeNa-MaGeStiK) (13/6). SeNa-MaGeStiK 2026 raised the theme “Peran Strategis Matematika dalam Hilirisasi Riset Berdampak bagi SDGs“. Kusbudiono, S.Si., M.Si., as the Chair of the Committee in his report at the plenary session said that SeNa-MaGeStiK 2026 presented 4 speakers, namely Prof. I Wayan Sudarsana, M.Si. from Tadulako University, Prof. Drs. Kusno, DEA., Ph.D. from Jember University, Ahmad Muklason, S.Kom., M.Sc., Ph.D. from Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology and Dr. Alfian Futuhul Hadi, S.Si., M.Si. from Jember University. The National Seminar was held online and attended by 77 participants from various universities across Indonesia.

In his remarks, the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Indonesia (UNEJ), Prof. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., highlighted three main points of the 2026 SeNa-MaGeStiK event. “At this second SeNa-MaGeStiK National Seminar held by the Mathematics Department of FMIPA, I highlight three main points: the strategic role of mathematics, impactful research, and sustainable development amidst today’s technological advances,” he said. Prof. Dafik also highlighted the role of mathematics in the development of artificial intelligence, which in this era is capable of producing results. “By creating prompts and simple algorithms, AI can already produce results. Therefore, through SeNa-MaGeStiK, we hope to involve mathematics in realizing impactful research and sustainable development,” he concluded.

The plenary session began with a presentation by Prof. I Wayan Sudarsana, M.Si. from Tadulako University with the title “Development of a Fuzzy Logic-Based Liquefaction Severity Index Model: Downstreaming Mathematical Research for Disaster-Resilient Cities,” moderated by Dr. Ridho Alfarisi, S.Pd., M.Sc., followed by Prof. Drs. Kusno, DEA., Ph.D. from Jember University with the presentation “Modeling Surfaces that Can Be Developed in the Field Using Bézier Curves and Quintic Hermites.” At the end of the presentation, participants were given the opportunity to ask questions to the keynote speaker.

In the next session, moderated by M. Ziaul Arif, S.Si., M.Sc., Ph.D., Ahmad Muklason, S.Kom., M.Sc., Ph.D. from the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology presented “Generic Analytics-Driven Constructive Search Heuristic Algorithm for Solving Cross-Domain Scheduling Problems.” Followed by Dr. Alfian Futuhul Hadi, S.Si., M.Si. from the University of Jember with the presentation title “Statistics and Data Science as a Policy Foundation: IPU 2026 as a Living Laboratory”. The next parallel session was divided into 6 rooms consisting of the fields of Analysis and Geometry, Algebra, Applied Mathematics, Computation, Statistics and finally Mathematics Education.
