The Physics Department of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember, hosted the inauguration of the management of the Indonesian Association of Geophysicist (HAGI) East Java, Regional Committee Surabaya (27/2). Inaugurated directly by Ir. Dedi Yusmen, M.BA., M.Esy., President of HAGI from PT. Pertamina at the UNEJ Entrepreneurship Building. The public lecture was delivered by Deputy Secretary General I of HAGI Muhammad Husni Mubarak Lubis, S.T., M.S. from Pertamina University. The theme raised was “Massive Geophysics and Exploration for Energy Sustainability.”. Dean of FMIPA UNEJ Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D. was present and opened the event, which was attended by physics, mining, and oil students from UNEJ. Prof. Dafik said that the introduction of the world of work to students could be bridged through associations such as HAGI.

“With an association like HAGI consisting of lecturers and practitioners, it will help students introduce the world of industry, especially geophysics,” said the Dean of FMIPA. It was said that FMIPA also wants to open a geophysics study program after several new study programs that have been prepared. The new study program will increase the interest of prospective students to join FMIPA. The Dean also hopes that HAGI, through its work program, can provide teaching practitioners even though the ministry’s regulations may be slightly different. “I congratulate those who were inaugurated today; hopefully HAGI can continue to contribute to the world of education and the wider community,” he concluded.

Retired Ir. Misto, M.Si: Physics Department FMIPA UNEJ holds Public Lecture and Farewell

News, Student, Tokoh, , , ,

The Physics Department of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at the University of Jember held a public lecture and farewell event for Ir. Misto, M.Si., who is retiring on November 30th. In his speech, the Head of the Physics Department, Dr. Agus Suprianto, S.Si., M.T., expressed gratitude and appreciation for Mr. Misto’s service. “On behalf of the Physics Department, I would like to thank and honor Mr. Misto for his dedicated contribution in sharing valuable knowledge,” he said. As a colleague, Dr. Agus shared that Mr. Misto had made many contributions to research and community service. “He is a senior physics lecturer who always provided advice to us younger faculty members and was a great teacher who was always willing to engage in discussions with students,” he added.

The event was attended by all the lecturers and administrative staff from the Physics Department. The event began with a public lecture, during which Mr. Misto gave a talk to physics students from various year groups. He shared the story of his journey from becoming a lecturer to his years of service at FMIPA, leading up to his retirement. “At the end of my service, I want to share my knowledge, especially in physics, for the advancement of medicine, which has been part of my journey as a lecturer,” he said. Mr. Misto has worked on several collaborations to show how physics can greatly benefit human health, particularly through medicine.

He explained that not everything dangerous is harmful if used in the right way. “Gamma rays from radioactive materials, if used correctly, can be used to treat cancer,” he explained. The radiation can damage the DNA of cancer cells, which helps slow the growth and spread of cancer. “Although there are side effects, like loss of appetite, this can be managed by eating fruit,” he added. The event ended with the students presenting Mr. Misto with a gift.

The farewell event continued with a video presentation from colleagues and staff, who shared messages and memories of Mr. Misto. “He is a role model who is always enjoyable to discuss with, whether it’s about lectures, research, community service, or even life in general,” said a fellow lecturer. Many gifts were presented to Mr. Misto, from colleagues, alumni, and the department. The event concluded with a group photo, karaoke, and a lunch together.

Congratulations on your retirement, Mr. Misto, and thank you for your dedication and service to Physics, FMIPA, and the University of Jember.
