Collaboration University of Bengkulu and Chulalongkorn University
Dr. Heri Suhartoyo (Sekretaris LPPM Unib) dan Dr. Lindung Zalbuin Mase (dosen FT Unib) melakukan pertemuan dengan Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University on 12 Nov 2019. Tujuan pertemuan ini adalah untuk mendiskusikan kolaborasi riset intensif antara Unib dan Chulalongkorn University. Unib akan mendirikan Pusat Unggulan terkait Geotechnical Hazard dan akan berkerjasama dengan Centre of Excellence in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering (CEGGE), Chulalongkorn University.
Dr Heri Suhartoyo dan Dr Lindung Zalbuin Mase bertemu dengan Prof. Dr. Suched Likitlersuang dan Prof. Dr. Teerapong Senjuntichai, Prof. Dr. Suched adalah Kepala CEGGE-Centre of Excellence in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering (CEGGE) dan Prof. Dr. Teerapong adalah Kepala Department of Civil Engineering, Dept of Civil Engineering, Chulalongkorn University.
Dr Lindung Zalbuin Mase saat ini juga menjalankan riset kolaborasi dengan Prof Suched. Penelitian ini didukung oleh support dari lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Unib. Riset yang kami kolaborasikan bersama Chulalongkorn University adalah mengusulkan metode pemetaan kerentanan likuifaksi yang mengacu pada parameter utama penentu likuifaksi yaitu tekanan air pori akibat beban gempa dari hasil analisis perambatan gelombang seismik dari metode elemen hingga. Metode ini sebelumnya secara intensif telah dikembangkan oleh Dr. Lindung Zalbuin Mase bersama Prof. Suched Likitlersuang (Chulalongkorn University) dan Associate Professor. Tetsuo Tobita (Kansai University). Saat ini proses zonasi kerentanan sedang berlangsung. Kedepannya zonasi kerentanan likuifaksi di wilayah Bengkulu akan dapat diketahui dan menjadi rujukan dalam perencanaan tata ruang dan wilayah di Kota Bengkulu.
Collaboration University of Bengkulu and BRIN
Dosen Program Studi (Prodi) Informatika Universitas Bengkulu (Unib), Arie Vatresia, S.T., M.T.I., Ph.D., melakukan kolaborasi riset dengan peneliti Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional (BRIN), Arnida L Latifah, Ph.D., untuk meningkatkan resolusi citra remote sensing. Kolaborasi ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan interpretasi terhadap perubahan land cover dan land use change pada daerah konservasi.
Kolaborasi ini didasari oleh Perjanjian Kerja sama yang ditandatangani tanggal 31 Oktober 2023 oleh Kepala Pusat Riset Komputasi BRIN Dr. Rifki Sadikin, M.Kom dan Kepala Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Unib Ir. Hery Suhartoyo, M.Sc., PhD.
