Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) demonstrated its commitment to global academic excellence through the participation of one of its faculty members, Wijayanti Dwi Astuti, S.Si., M.Sc., Ph.D., from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Vocational School. Dr. Wijayanti represented Indonesia at the International Conference on Precision Engineering 2024 (ICPE 2024), held from October 23 to 26, 2024, at Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.
Organized by the Japan Society for Precision Engineering (JSPE), the conference welcomed representatives from 26 countries and marked the 50th anniversary of advancements in nanotechnology, first introduced at the inaugural ICPE in 1974. The event served as a platform for leading experts in nanotechnology and metrology to exchange knowledge and share the latest innovations.
Dr. Wijayanti Dwi Astuti, invited as a feature speaker, presented her research titled “Theoretical Inquiry of Type II SHG Phase Matching Angle of LBO Crystal for Small Angle Detection” on October 24, 2024. Her study garnered significant attention for proposing an innovative approach to detecting minute angular shifts by leveraging the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) phenomenon in LBO crystals. This research holds significant relevance in advancing precision measurement technology at the nanoscale.
UGM’s participation in ICPE 2024 not only enhanced its global professional network but also reinforced Indonesia’s position in the field of nanotechnology and metrology research. This involvement aligns with UGM’s commitment to achieving the university’s Key Performance Indicators (KPI), particularly in expanding international networks and research collaborations. It is hoped that more Indonesian academics and researchers will take part in similar international forums, thereby broadening Indonesia’s contributions and influence in the global academic landscape.
