UNAIR NEWS – Research funding from Newton Fund was achieved by the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) 聽The title of the research for the collaboration is聽”听Fiber Optic Sensor for Food Safety聽“,聽and the research team from UNAIR is led by Prof.聽Dr.聽Moh.聽Yasin, M.Si and Andy Hamim Zaidan, M. Si, Ph.D as the member.
On September 10-14, 2018, a discussion and presentation on the results of the research and the publication was accepted in high impact journals.
The first presentation was delivered by Prof.聽Moh.聽Yasin and the discussion led by Dr.聽Auro Perego, one聽of Italy’s聽postdoctoral聽staff聽.聽This research is under the direct control of Director of Aston Institute of Photonics Technologies (AIPT), Prof.聽Sergey Turtysin from Aston University with full funding from the United Kingdom (UK).
Andy Hamim Zaidan, M.Si, Ph.D also explained the partnership continuation of Department of Physics at Faculty of Science and Technology UNAIR for Newton Funding proposal in 2019 under the title聽”听Plasminic Sensor for Food Safety and Medical Application”听.聽This Biophotonic research has already been done in FST UNAIR, therefore UNAIR is brave enough to submit research applications in medical field which is the excellence of this university.
According to official sources, the potential in UNAIR FST Department of Physics will be maximized at an international level.聽Two titles presented on聽Photonics for Medical Diagnostics Workshop听飞别谤别听Fiber Optics Sensor for Heart Rate聽(Prof. Dr. Moh. Yasin and team) and聽In vitro Cancer Cells Inactivation using Gold Nano rods Mediated Photo Thermal Effect聽(Prof. Dr. Retna Apsari and team) were one of the earliest evidences of UNAIR’s excellence in the realm of medical application.
In the future, this research will be continued by staff聽and聽student outbound聽through the聽post doctoral program聽and聽Multiply Funding聽to work on research at Aston Institute of Photonics Technologies.聽While the research for聽food safety聽applications聽has been running this year and will be continued in 2019 for the optimization of the system and its applications.
The origin of this research and publication collaboration is expected to increase the number of publications and increase the聽UNAIR聽academic peer list.聽Delegation interaction in the laboratory at Aston Institute of Photonics Technologies (AIPT) Birmingham is also expected to open opportunities for follow-up collaboration with students who take master’s programs, doctoral, and postdoctoral staff from various countries such as China, Malaysia, Russia, Nepal, India and Bangladesh.
The activity carried out by the delegation on 10-14 September, 2018 was a laboratory activity whose purpose was to find out the maximum potential of each university, so that collaboration would be maximized.
One observation caught the attention of UNAIR team was the complete laboratory which has quality assurance.聽These good practices聽can be implemented by 东京热 to improve laboratories at FST in particular, and throughout 东京热 in general.聽(*)
