“Yesterday, thank God, I received an offer from my academic advisor, Sir,” said Fitri Nur Laily, who is often called Fitri, enthusiastically sharing how she started her journey into the IIPP program.

At that time, her advisor was working on a collaborative project with a professor from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan. It turned out that Fitri’s thesis was related to this joint project.

Coincidentally, the professor from NCKU was registered as one of the supervisors in the internship program in Taiwan. This helped facilitate Fitri’s participation in the program organized by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) for three months in mid-2024. read more

The Graduate School (SPs) of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) continues to encourage its students to innovate through various academic activities and multidisciplinary research.

Gabriel Aryo Wicaksono (Aryo), one of the students, shared how the program motivates students by bringing in guest lecturers from diverse backgrounds, including from BRIN (National Research and Innovation Agency) and the Faculty of Dentistry at UGM.

“Collaboration with researchers such as Ms. Gusnaniar, M. Biotech, Ph.D., and Drg. Isti Rahayu S, M.Biotech., Sp.Rad.O.M(K)., Ph.D. opens up opportunities for practical biomedical research,” he said. read more

Yogyakarta – Drg. Abizar Agung Wibawa, a Master student in Biomedical Engineering at the Graduate School of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), began his academic journey by participating in the Research Sharing Vol. 1 project. In this event, he was entrusted with the role of Master of Ceremony (MC), facilitating a gathering between lecturers and students to discuss various research topics in the field of biomedical engineering.

“I was still in my first semester when I was asked to be the MC for this event. At first, it felt challenging because I didn’t know about the lecturers and fellow students yet, but through this event, I met more people from various academic backgrounds,” he said. read more

It is a point of pride for any academic program when its graduates continue to make a meaningful impact in society.

Since graduating from the Master’s Program in Biomedical Engineering at the Graduate School of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in 2016, Djoko Kuswanto, S.T., M.Biotech has contributed a range of innovations in healthcare, especially in biomedical technology. His career has been focused on the development of digital-based medical technology to improve the quality of healthcare services in Indonesia. read more

The limited healthcare infrastructure in island regions didn’t discourage Dr. R. A. A. Koesoema Wijaya, M.Sc. from innovating. As a physician at the North Seribu Islands Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in Jakarta, he successfully developed a prototype of health technology based on artificial intelligence (AI) to support medical services in remote areas.

Working in a region with restricted access was Dr. Wijaya’s main motivation for creating a technological solution.

“I often encounter challenges when treating patients due to a lack of facilities. It made me think—there must be a practical technological breakthrough,” he said. read more

The Biomedical Engineering Master Program (BME) at Universitas Gadjah Mada’s Graduate School (Sekolah Pascasarjana – SPs UGM) continues to attract students eager to delve into health-related engineering.

Three students from diverse backgrounds shared their unique experiences pursuing advanced studies in this educational city.

Indra Daulay, a graduate of Electrical Engineering Education at Universitas Negeri Medan, expressed his appreciation for the academic atmosphere in Yogyakarta.

“The culture and community in Jogja are very supportive for studying,” said Indra, who first set foot in Yogyakarta back in 2003. read more

Margot Campi, a student from France currently studying at IMT Atlantique in Brest, is participating in a non-degree student exchange program at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM).
She is enrolled in the Master’s Program in Biomedical Engineering at the UGM Graduate School (Sekolah Pascasarjana – SPs). With the help of her friend Fitri Nur Laily as a translator, Margot enthusiastically shared her thoughts about the program, her academic journey, and her aspirations in the rapidly growing field of biomedical engineering. read more

In recent years, heart disease has remained the leading cause of death worldwide, including in Indonesia. Among various heart conditions, myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common forms of coronary heart disease. Early detection of MI is crucial to prevent more severe complications, including sudden death. One effective method for detecting myocardial infarction is through the analysis of electrocardiogram (EKG) signals.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has significantly advanced the classification of heart diseases based on EKG signals. However, the interpretability of the decision-making results from machine learning models is essential to ensure clinical trust and validity. This research, conducted by Farhatul Fityah, aims to evaluate the interpretability of a simple rule-based machine learning model in the qualitative classification of myocardial infarction by cardiologists.

Farhatul Fityah atau yang akrab disaba Tya adalah Mahasiwa Magister Teknik Biomedis untuk menyusun menjadi sebuah tesis yang bejudul Evaluasi Interpretabilitas Rule-Based Classifier dalam Klasifikasi Myocardial Infarction Berdasarkan Fitur Sintaksis Sinyal EKG, dan berhasil lulus dengan predikat cumlaude pada 31 januari 2025 read more

The relationship between physiological signals and human emotions has made Noan Yaseka interested in researching this, which was written in a thesis entitled Application of Asymmetric Windowing Recurrence Plots in Encoding Heart Signals for Emotion Classification Using Deep Learning

Guided by Ir. Noor Akhmad Setiawan, S.T., M.T., Ph.D., IPM from the Faculty of Engineering and Dra. Sri Kusrohmaniah, M.Sc., Ph.D., Psychologist from the Faculty of Psychology, Noan has successfully graduated with cum laude predicate from the Master of Biomedical Engineering Study Program, UGM Postgraduate School (SPs) and attended the graduation on January 31, 2025 read more
