UNIB Undergraduate Statistics Program Hosts Scientific Discussion and Research Inspiration Session with BRIN Researcher/ Prodi S1 Statistika UNIB Gelar Diskusi Ilmiah dan Inspirasi Riset Bersama Peneliti BRIN
The Undergraduate Statistics Study Program of the University of Bengkulu organized a Scientific Discussion and Research Inspiration Session with a BRIN Researcher on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (WIB). The event was conducted online via Zoom Meeting and was intended for lecturers within the Department of Mathematics, University of Bengkulu, as part of an effort to strengthen research culture and enhance the quality of academic research.
The session featured Dr. Hengki Muradi, M.Si, a researcher from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), as the keynote speaker. In his presentation, Dr. Hengki discussed recent developments in statistics and machine learning research, including the distinction between supervised and unsupervised machine learning, the issue of overfitting, and the development of hybrid methods such as the integration of machine learning with Generalized Mixed Effects Models. The material provided strategic insights into methodological novelty and research development opportunities that are relevant to current needs.
In addition to the presentation, the event included an interactive discussion and question-and-answer session. Lecturers actively exchanged ideas on potential research collaborations, the utilization of national research data, the development of applied research topics, and opportunities for joint supervision of undergraduate theses and student internships in collaboration with BRIN. This discussion reflected the high level of enthusiasm among lecturers for cross-institutional collaborative research.
Through this activity, the Undergraduate Statistics Study Program of the University of Bengkulu hopes to encourage improvements in the quality and productivity of research conducted by lecturers in the Department of Mathematics, while also opening broader opportunities for collaboration with national research institutions. Similar activities are planned to be held on a sustainable basis as part of a strategy to strengthen the research ecosystem and support the implementation of the university’s tridharma.
Program Studi S1 Statistika Universitas Bengkulu menyelenggarakan kegiatan Diskusi Ilmiah dan Inspirasi Riset Bersama Peneliti BRIN pada Selasa, 13 Januari 2026, pukul 10.00 WIB, yang dilaksanakan secara daring melalui Zoom Meeting. Kegiatan ini diperuntukkan bagi dosen di lingkungan Jurusan Matematika Universitas Bengkulu sebagai upaya penguatan budaya riset dan peningkatan kualitas penelitian dosen.
Kegiatan menghadirkan Dr. Hengki Muradi, M.Si, peneliti dari Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional (BRIN), sebagai narasumber. Dalam pemaparannya, Dr. Hengki membahas perkembangan riset di bidang statistika dan machine learning, termasuk perbedaan supervised dan unsupervised machine learning, potensi overfitting, serta pengembangan metode hibrida seperti integrasi machine learning dengan Generalized Mixed Effect Models. Materi yang disampaikan memberikan wawasan strategis terkait kebaruan metode dan peluang pengembangan riset yang relevan dengan kebutuhan saat ini.
Selain pemaparan materi, kegiatan juga diisi dengan sesi diskusi dan tanya jawab yang berlangsung interaktif. Para dosen aktif berdiskusi mengenai peluang kolaborasi riset, pemanfaatan data riset nasional, pengembangan topik penelitian terapan, hingga kemungkinan kerja sama pembimbingan tugas akhir dan magang mahasiswa dengan BRIN. Diskusi ini mencerminkan tingginya antusiasme dosen terhadap pengembangan riset kolaboratif lintas institusi.
Melalui kegiatan ini, Prodi S1 Statistika Universitas Bengkulu berharap dapat mendorong peningkatan kualitas dan produktivitas riset dosen Jurusan Matematika, sekaligus membuka peluang kerja sama yang lebih luas dengan lembaga riset nasional. Ke depan, kegiatan serupa direncanakan untuk terus dilaksanakan secara berkelanjutan sebagai bagian dari strategi penguatan ekosistem riset dan pengembangan tridarma perguruan tinggi.
