During the webinar, Rizki Ardiarto shed light on the Simultaneous DSC-TGA technique, a fusion of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). This method facilitates a comprehensive analysis of nanomaterials by concurrently examining their thermal properties and composition. With its ability to discern crucial attributes such as melting points, crystallization points, and compositional elements, the technique holds immense promise for advancing nanomaterial research.

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Karna Wijaya, M.Eng, emphasized the webinar’s alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). He underscored the pivotal role of educational initiatives and technological advancements in driving sustainable development agendas forward.

Participants engaged in a lively exchange with the speaker, posing insightful questions and sharing perspectives on the implications of Simultaneous DSC-TGA in their respective fields of study. The interactive nature of the session underscored the significance of knowledge-sharing platforms in fostering a vibrant academic community.

Rizki Ardiarto underscored the myriad benefits of the Simultaneous DSC-TGA technique, ranging from analyzing thermal stability to characterizing nanomaterial structures. His elucidation illuminated the multifaceted applications of this technique, positioning it as a valuable tool for researchers seeking to enhance their understanding of nanomaterial properties.

As the webinar drew to a close, Riska Astin, S.Si, a doctoral student (PMDSU) at the Department of Chemistry FMIPA UGM and the moderator, encapsulated the key insights gleaned from the session. Expressing optimism about the webinar’s potential impact, she underscored its role in empowering participants to leverage Simultaneous DSC-TGA for their research endeavors.

In conclusion, the webinar served as a testament to the Department of Chemistry FMIPA UGM’s commitment to knowledge dissemination and innovation. By providing a platform for dialogue and learning, the event contributed to advancing both academic scholarship and industrial development in nanomaterial research.

With the spirit of strengthening scientific publication, the SP-ERT (Self Potential – Electrical Resistivity Tomography) research study at UGM Geophysics Laboratory collaborates with PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Upstream Innovation (PHE-UI) continued into 2024, marked by the Kick-Off Meeting on Feb 1st – 2nd Feb 2024, in the Merapi Room, Department of Physics, FMIPA UGM. This study is a development of laboratory and field-scale research that has been ongoing since 2022.

“This is the first kick-off activity in 2024,” said Dr. Wiwit Suryanto, Vice Dean for Research and Cooperation, in his opening remarks. “For us, it is a blessing because Upstream Innovation is still willing to collaborate with us to continue this research.”

The previously conducted SP-ERT study was deemed capable of detecting water injection activities at one of Pertamina’s fields. Its advantage lies in its ability to transmit data wirelessly, allowing users to access field data from anywhere using internet-connected devices.

In addition to the study’s advantages, Fatkhul Mu’in, Specialist Innovation Geophysics Upstream Innovation, is optimistic about the production of not only instruments and software but also scientific papers. “Among the many collaborations we have forged, FMIPA UGM feels beneficial. Unfortunately, it is not visible, only we (Upstream Innovation) know. Whereas in the geoscience community, it is not visible. This year, I ask to take the stage,” said Mr. Mu’in at the kick-off event.

Dean of FMIPA UGM, Prof. Kuwat Triyana, is aware of the lack of publications from studies at FMIPA UGM, particularly in geophysics. “Geophysics is a data repository. Hence, it is regrettable if, as a ‘warehouse’ of data, there is no time to write (for publication),” emphasized Prof. Kuwat, who also opened this activity.

The kick-off at the beginning of this year is expected to ignite a new spirit in scientific publication related to studies in UGM Geophysics, thus supporting Sustainable Development Goals. Point 4 about Quality Education is supported by contributions to the scientific community through scientific publications. Moreover, innovation and collaboration with industry are in line with point 9 by involving researchers, engineers, and lecturers.

In the context of elaborating the ongoing study collaboration between the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) UGM, the Faculty of Engineering UGM, Pertamina Hulu Energi, and Elnusa, a progress meeting on the development study of Thermodrillsy was held on 1 – 2 February 2024 in the Merapi Room, Department of Physics, FMIPA UGM.

Dr. Afif Rakhman, Head of the Geophysics Laboratory, FMIPA UGM, stated during the opening of the event, “For us, this collaboration represents something new and a significant challenge. Thus, within the Department of Physics (DF) FMIPA UGM, we involve the Department of Industrial Mechanical Engineering (DTMI), Faculty of Engineering UGM, in conducting Pertabocsy research using Thermodrillsy.”

Pertabocsy is a method initially developed by Pertamina to map hydrocarbon potential based on temperature. The integration of industry (Pertamina) with academia (UGM) in this case, the Geophysics and Industrial Mechanical Engineering programs, is expected to address field challenges effectively.

“This research will be applied in swampy environments,” Dr. Afif explained the field challenges affecting the specifications of the equipment to be developed. Dr. Ir. Teguh Pudji Purwanto, representing DTMI, affirmed this statement. “The soil has bearing capacity, so our equipment must be able to handle this.”

Multidisciplinary integration can be the key to success. The collaboration fostered by the Department of Physics, FMIPA UGM, reflects point 17, which is a partnership for goal achievement through collaborative field study activities in fulfilling hydrocarbon resource needs.
