Three students from the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (DTMM), Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI) were honored to present their research at the prestigious international event, Dynamics Days Asia Pacific 13 (DDAP 13). This activity is part of the long-term workshop Frontiers in Non-equilibrium Physics 2024 which was held at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), Kyoto University, Japan, on July 1-5, 2024. The three students are Yossi Andreano (2020), Anggit Driasaditya (2020), and Rio Sudwitama Persadanta Kaban (2021), under the guidance of DTMM FTUI lecturer, Dr. Ir. Jaka Fajar Fatriansyah, M.Sc., IPM, ASEAN ENG.
On this occasion, the three students presented one of the topics of DDAP 13, namely machine learning. Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. Yossi Andreano presented his research on the prediction of mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of copper alloys based on composition and processing using machine learning. Anggit Driasaditya discussed the use of machine learning to predict the docking score of Quinazolline derivatives as inhibitors of the Hepatitis B virus. Rio Sudwitama explained the prediction of the tensile strength, hardness, and melting point of nickel-based superalloys and iron-nickel based on composition using machine learning.
“This workshop also provides an opportunity to collaborate across disciplines. The discussions not only deepened the understanding of physics and materials engineering, but also integrated machine learning concepts into the context of practical applications. We gained in-depth insights into how this technology can be applied in the latest research in the field of materials science,” said Yossi.
Anggit and Rio added that the opportunity they got in this activity increased motivation in realizing the importance of physics as one of the main aspects in the development of material science. “Speakers from various universities provide diverse perspectives, adding value to every presentation session we attend. This motivates us to develop new ideas and apply the knowledge we have gained to advance our research in the future,” they said.
On another occasion, the Dean of FTUI, Prof. Dr. Ir. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU, said, “The host of DDAP 13, the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, is a well-known institute dedicated to Japan’s first Nobel laureate, Hideki Yukawa. A number of participants from this workshop are also known as Nobel laureates and other prestigious international awards. The participation of FTUI students in this prestigious activity not only brings the good name of the Faculty of Engineering and the University of Indonesia in the global arena, but also becomes a forum for students to expand their horizons and international networks.”
Held since 1999, Dynamics Days Asia Pacific is an international workshop held every two years with a focus on nonlinear dynamics. This year, DDAP covers several topics, namely non-equilibrium systems, quantum systems, condensed materials, photonics, biotechnology, climate, and machine learning. This workshop invited expert speakers from well-known universities in Asia such as the National University of Singapore, Tohoku University, and Peking University.
