Semarang, 16 October 2025 — The Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Diponegoro University (FSM UNDIP) hosted its annual international conference, The 15th International Seminar on New Paradigm and Innovation on Natural Sciences and Its Application (ISNPINSA-15), themed “Frontiers in Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics for Sustainable Future.” Held on the 6th floor of the Acintya Prasada Building, the event was part of the 37th Dies Natalis series of FSM UNDIP and facilitated a hybrid, cross-border scientific forum.
The program opened with remarks from the Organizing Committee Chair, Dr. Erik Bhekti Yutomo, M.Sc., followed by the official opening by the Dean of FSM UNDIP, Prof. Dr. Kusworo Adi, M.T., who underscored ISNPINSA as a platform for cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange among researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students to strengthen global collaboration toward sustainability.
This year’s seminar featured 98 presenters with speakers from several countries—among others Indonesia, Malaysia, Türkiye, Japan, Germany, and Saudi Arabia—who shared cutting-edge research in their respective fields:
- Ts. Dr. Muhammad Hisyam Lee, FASc. (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia): development of intelligent algorithms based on nature-inspired optimization and machine learning to improve predictive accuracy and computational efficiency across domains such as chemistry, precision agriculture, and energy forecasting.
- Agus Setyawan (Diponegoro University): the role of geophysical methods in geothermal energy exploration through the integration of physical measurements and geological data to enable more accurate mapping of geothermal systems.
- Cihat Abdioglu (Karamanoglu Mehmetbey University, Türkiye): the application of graph theory to understand and visualize algebraic structures (groups, rings, semigroups) and the new research avenues it opens.
- Toshioh Fujibuchi (Kyushu University, Japan): advances in VR/AR-based radiation visualization technologies to enhance workplace safety and the effectiveness of radiation protection in medical settings.
In addition to the keynotes, invited speakers also shared their research: Nuh Hamid, Ph.D. (King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia), Prof. Rebecca Waldecker (Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany), and Dr. Hasbi Yasin, S.Si., M.Si. (Diponegoro University, Indonesia).
Following the invited talks, the program continued with parallel sessions in which presenters shared their findings with peers in related fields and engaged in interactive discussions to broaden insights and gather feedback. Authors who presented at ISNPINSA-15 will have the opportunity to publish their work in Q3-indexed international journals, nationally accredited Sinta 2 and Sinta 3 journals, or international proceedings.
Through ISNPINSA-15, FSM UNDIP reaffirms its commitment to advancing science and technology oriented toward sustainability. The conference serves not only as a scientific forum but also as a bridge for global collaboration among the academic community, researchers, and practitioners to realize a more sustainable future through science.
