PROJECT SCHOLARSHIP AT MAGISTER BY RESEARCH, DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS, UNIVERSITAS GADJAH MADA

Project title: Mathematical Models for Mitigating Earthquake Risks in Indonesia

Short Description

Located in the ring of fire along the Pacific plate makes Indonesia a disaster-prone area, especially for earthquakes. Researchers have studied the physical study of the occurrence of earthquakes and their probabilistic models, thus its risks can be measured properly. This study will elaborate on the financial aspects of earthquake mitigation. It comprises of government programs, municipalities, the interactions between the mandatory sources and insurance products, and any other source of finance to mitigate those risks. We focus on how we manage earthquake risks and mitigate them with various financial products and programs.

Topic Covered

  1. Spatial effect for investigating earthquake events
  2. The dependence between earthquake occurrence and financial loss
  3. Optimal design on earthquake risk financing
  4. Machine learning methods in mitigating earthquake risks

Benefit

  1. Tuition fee reimbursement
  2. Academic conference participation support
  3. Research support
  4. Involve in an emerging, dynamic, yet multidisciplinary research group

Requirements

  1. Hold bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Statistics, or Actuarial Science from a reputable university
  2. Minimum GPA: 3.5
  3. Has a strong interest in modelling research
  4. Good in English writing and communication 
  5. Willing to stay in Yogyakarta during the study

Documents Required for Application

  1. Degree certificate, or any other document mentioning the candidate already finished his/her study
  2. English proficiency certificate
  3. Statement of purpose
  4. Academic transcript
  5. At least 2 recommendation letters from academic or professional supervisor(s)
