Yogyakarta, 4 September 2024 – The Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FMIPA UGM), once again held the DEMOMATIKA Series 6 event, which took place in a hybrid format today. This event featured two speakers who are lecturers from FMIPA UGM: Made Benny Prasetya, S.Si., M.Sc. and Ivonne Martin, S.Si., M.Sc., Ph.D.. With highly interesting and relevant topics in applied mathematics, the event successfully attracted the attention of participants, both attending online and in person.
In the first session, Made Benny Prasetya presented material on “Monge Solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi Equations in Metric Space,” a topic that delves into Monge solutions in Hamilton-Jacobi equations within metric spaces. This material indirectly supports SDG 4: Quality Education by expanding fundamental mathematical knowledge for the development of technology and innovation.
Meanwhile, Ivonne Martin discussed “Causal Inference on Observational Data Based on Electronic Health Records (EHR),” a topic that is highly relevant to current developments in health technology. This topic supports SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being by enhancing research capacity in healthcare systems through the utilization of existing observational data.
The event was attended by 55 participants, with 30 participants joining online via Zoom Meeting and 25 others attending in person at Room 318, S2 Building FMIPA UGM. The event was moderated by Malim Muhammad, S.Si., M.Sc., a lecturer from Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, who skillfully guided the discussion, enabling productive interactions between the speakers and participants.
The DEMOMATIKA event is one of a series of events regularly organized by the Department of Mathematics UGM, aimed at providing insights and enriching the knowledge of students and academics in the fields of mathematics and other applied sciences. The event was successfully conducted, and the participants were visibly enthusiastic in following each session presented. Through this event, SDG 4: Quality Education is further supported by strengthening academic cooperation and expanding access to knowledge within higher education institutions.
With the availability of the hybrid option, the event provided participants with the flexibility to choose the attendance method that best suited their needs, with the in-person option limited to 30 participants to maintain the quality of interaction. This effort also supports SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by leveraging digital technology in the inclusive organization of the event.
