Professor Dr. Eng. Suprijadi, M.Eng., the Dean of the Graduate School at ITB and a Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, mentioned that the purpose of this seminar was to introduce Atom Probe Tomography technology to researchers and educators. "We hope that through this seminar, research in the field of renewable materials, in particular, can continue to progress," said Prof. Suprijadi.

Moreover, scientific research has been increasingly extensive, especially with the emergence of renewable technologies. One of the technological advancements in the field of materials that is currently in demand is the utilization of Atom Probe Tomography. Unfortunately, in the context of education and research in Indonesia, the application of Atom Probe Tomography technology has not been widely utilized yet.

Hence, this event serves as a gathering for experts in the field of materials with one of the manufacturers of Atom Probe Tomography. During this occasion, researchers will present their studies in the field of renewable materials.

Atom Probe Tomography is a three-dimensional micro- or nano-characterization technique used to visualize and measure the atomic-level microstructure of materials.

Meanwhile, Dr. Damar Rastri Adhika, S.T., M.Sc., a representative from PNN ITB, responded positively to the collaboration in this seminar. "This event is a collaboration between PT Wadya, CAMECA, and PNN. It also serves as an introduction to PNN and its characterization techniques," he stated.

In cultivating highly educated human resources, especially in nanoscience and nanotechnology, PNN has been supported by various sophisticated equipment. These include the Focused Ion Beam (FIB), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM).

He hopes that through this seminar, researchers can further comprehend material characterization techniques, ultimately enhancing the quality of research conducted at ITB.

"His hope is that researchers will be increasingly assisted in determining the appropriate characterization techniques for their samples, ultimately benefiting society at large," he expressed.

Dr. Damar hopes that the collaboration among these three parties can result in continuity, especially in fields related to characterization and materials science.
