The Doctoral Program in Mathematics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), reaffirmed its strong commitment to academic excellence by successfully organizing ten comprehensive examinations in the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year on June 20, 2025.
The comprehensive examination is a key milestone that every doctoral student must complete as a rigorous evaluation of their mastery in the field of mathematics. This semester, ten students undertook the examinations, which were held in both offline and blended formats at FMIPA UGM.
The candidates presented diverse research topics in pure and applied mathematics, including analysis, algebra, statistics, and computational mathematics. The participants were:
- Asri Bekti Pratiwi (Promoter: Prof. Dr. Salmah, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Dr. Irwan Endrayanto, M.Sc.)
- Utti Marina Rifanti (Promoter: Dr. Lina Aryati, M.S.; Co-promoter: Dr. Nanang Susyanto, S.Si., M.Sc., M.Sc.)
- Srianto (Promoter: Dr. Indarsih, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Dr. Nanang Susyanto, S.Si., M.Sc., M.Sc.)
- Abdulloh Jaelani (Promoter: Prof. Supama, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Prof. Atok Zulijanto, M.Si., Ph.D.)
- Ririn Setiyowati (Promoter: Dr. Lina Aryati, M.S.; Co-promoter: Dr. Nanang Susyanto, S.Si., M.Sc., M.Sc.)
- Indah Manfaati Nur (Promoter: Prof. Dr. Abdurakhman, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Drs. Danardono, M.P.H., Ph.D.)
- Yosua Feri Wijaya (Promoter: Prof. Dr. Yeni Susanti, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Uha Isnaini, M.Sc., Ph.D.)
- Rokhana Dwi Bekti (Promoter: Prof. Dr. Gunardi, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Ts. Dr. Mohd. Mahayaudin Mansor)
- Dara Puspita Anggraeni (Promoter: Prof. Dr. Abdurakhman, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Dr. Noorma Yulia Megawati, S.Si., M.Sc., M.Sc.)
- Malahayati (Promoter: Prof. Dr. Supama, M.Si.; Co-promoter: Prof. Atok Zulijanto, M.Si., Ph.D.)
Head of the Doctoral Program in Mathematics, Prof. Dr. Ch. Rini Indrati, M.Si., expressed her appreciation for the smooth and well-coordinated implementation of the examinations.
“We are committed to maintaining academic quality through a strict and transparent evaluation system. The comprehensive examination serves as an important gateway before students begin their dissertation research stage. Each student receives optimal supervision before the examination, and the assessment committee—comprising professors and doctors in mathematics—ensures fairness and academic integrity,” she stated.
The successful completion of these ten comprehensive examinations reflects the program’s ongoing dedication to supporting students’ academic progress and research readiness. It is expected that the doctoral candidates will continue their research with enthusiasm, integrity, and a strong commitment to contributing to the advancement of mathematics.
The Doctoral Program in Mathematics at FMIPA UGM remains steadfast in upholding the quality of higher education and fostering future scholars who contribute to scientific development and problem-solving across disciplines.
