Associate Professor Su-mi Hur from Chonnam National University, Gwangju South Korea delivered an inspiring guest lecture at Smart Meeting Room Makara 04 (19/02). In a guest lecture entitled “Exploring New Frontiers: Machine Learning and Computational Strategies in Materials Design and Engineering,” Assoc. Prof. Su-mi Hur discussed the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology in accelerating the discovery of innovative new materials.
In the session that started at 10:00, he highlighted the latest developments in the application of AI Machine Learning in creating materials that are not only functionally optimal, but also environmentally friendly and energy efficient. “This technology can support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially number (7) Clean and affordable energy, and number (13) Climate change handling.”
This guest lecture was opened by Dr.rer.pol. Romadhani Ardi, S.T., M.T., Manager of Student Affairs, Research, and Community Service FT UI. Romadhani Ardi sees that Assoc. Prof. Su-mi Hur’s views and knowledge in the field of material engineering by utilizing AI Machine Learning have great potential to support the vision of sustainable development pursued by the university. This reflects the importance of establishing constructive and sustainable cooperation to realize innovations that support sustainable development goals in the field of material technology.
Prof. Dr. Ir. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU., Dean of FTUI, affirmed FTUI’s commitment to scientific development and improving the quality of research in the future. “We really appreciate the presence of Assoc. Prof. Su-mi Hur on our campus and the sharing of his deep insights on material development through the application of AI Machine Learning. This kind of collaboration is crucial in advancing research and innovation in the field of materials engineering, and we hope this will be the foundation for further collaboration between FT UI and Chonnam National University.”
This guest lecture is also part of the Faculty Mobility Program (FMP) 2024 organized by the Directorate of Education, University of Indonesia. The Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia (FT UI) won this program, so Prof. Su-mi Hur will be in the Department of Metallurgical and Material Engineering (DTMM) FT UI for 5 days, starting from February 19 to 23, 2024. During her visit, Prof. Su-mi Hur not only gave lectures, but also held workshops and management meetings to discuss potential cooperation between FT UI and Chonnam National University.
Dr. Ir. Jaka Fajar Fatriansyah M.Sc., who is the person in charge of FMP 2024, stated that Prof. Su-mi Hur’s visit not only provides a new understanding in material engineering using AI Machine Learning, but also provides motivation for students to pursue careers in academia and research. “It is expected that the collaboration between FT UI and Chonnam National University will open the door to further innovation in the development of materials that support sustainability,” he explained.
