UNAIR NEWS“Students of 51¶¯Âþ have made an achievement in a national competition.M. Rizaldy Bin Nuryasin and M. Fajar Faliasthiunus P., from Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) 51¶¯Âþ (UNAIR) won 2nd place in National LKTI (Scientific Writing Contest) Physics Festival 2019 held on 5-6 October at Mulwarman University, Samarinda, East Kalimantan.
Their work idea was from the problem of earthquakes that often occur in Indonesia, followed by a tsunami.There is not a qualifiedearly warning systemtechnology used yet.
“It is inspired by the frequent earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis, such as what happened in Palu last time. And there is no qualified early warning system technology yet, “he explained.
From this problem, Rizaldy developed his idea ofearly warning systemtechnologyfurther withIOT (Internet of Things).
“It was actually a PKM (Student Creativity Program, ed) project.Nowfor this competition, we will develop it further especially with theInternet of Things, “explained the Physics student.
Rizaldy said that his family was verysupportive.“Alwayssupport,prayers from them keep my spirit up,” he added.
Meanwhile, he admitted he faced some difficulty when he was preparing for the competition. According to Rizaldy, the competition coincided with his mid-semester exam (UTS). However, he believed that everything must be done at his best, all challenges must be solved thoroughly, whatever the outcomes.
In the future, the scientific paper (KTI) will continue to be developed because the device is still a laboratory prototype. In the future, it will be developed in an applicative scale. With this achievement, Rizaldy hoped he could develop the device further and improve his enthusiasm to take part in future competitions.
Rizaldy has made many achievements in the field of scientific writing, such as Second Winner of Equatorial Mining Fair at Tanjung Pura University, DoubleSilverMedalat theSymposium in Creativityevent,Ìý°Õ³ó²¹¾±±ô²¹²Ô»å.Ìý(*)
