Kwarsa Rajab Matalapu (20923008)
My name is Kwarsa Rajab Matalapu, hailing from the vibrant city of Kendari, nestled in the heart of South Sulawesi. I began my educational journey in this bustling hometown of mine, where I laid the groundwork for my academic pursuits. Eager to expand my horizons, I embarked on my undergraduate studies at the esteemed Hasanuddin University in Makassar, also situated in the scenic landscapes of South Sulawesi. There, I delved into the intricacies of mechanical engineering, fueled by a passion for innovation and problem-solving.
Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to explore new frontiers, I set my sights on the prestigious Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). It was at ITB that I found my next academic haven, particularly within the dynamic realm of the computing science department. Here, amidst the bustling corridors and cutting-edge laboratories, I embarked on a journey of discovery, immersing myself in the fascinating world of computational science. With each step, I embraced the challenges and opportunities that came my way, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
I joined the “Scientific Journal Writing Techniques” course to learn how to write scientific journals properly because I’ve never done it before. I think this skill is super important, especially since I want to become a lecturer and keep studying for my master’s degree and beyond.
For this course, I’m excited about the prospect of creating a draft publication within the intriguing realm of computational material. Delving into this field offers a fascinating journey into the intersection of mathematics and practical applications, where theoretical concepts are transformed into real-world solutions. By immersing myself in this area, I aim to explore innovative ideas and contribute to advancements in computational material science. Through my draft publication, I hope to shed light on key topics and inspire further research in this dynamic and rapidly evolving field.
As for my thesis project, I’m eager to delve deeper into the captivating realm of computational material. Within this domain, I aim to explore the intricate interplay between mathematical principles and material properties, with a specific focus on the construction of Jacobi polynomials. These polynomials, pivotal in representing non-zero elements within a code, offer a gateway to understanding the complex behaviors of materials at a molecular level. By constructing Jacobi polynomials with respect to various reference vectors for unexplored code types, I aspire to unravel new insights into the fundamental mechanisms governing material behavior. Through this endeavor, I seek to contribute to the advancement of computational material science and pave the way for innovative solutions to real-world challenges.
