PERNYATAAN TUJUAN

After graduation with a bachelor's degree, I was offered to work at the Research Center for Physics
Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) Geophysics Department (Government Department) as Research Assistant. At
the position, my job description was processing and interpretation audio-magnetotelluric using computational
methods (Octave, GMT, Phyton), writing journal publications, researching seismicity at Banten Province,
Indonesia, and making geological map West Java Indonesia. Also, I became a presenter at the event International
Symposium on Frontier of Applied Physics 4th 2018 in Indonesian Convention Exhibition Serpong, South
Tangerang, Indonesia
My research was called "The Phase Tensor Analysis of The Nyalindung Segment Cimandiri Fault Zone,
West Java, Indonesia," published on IOP Conf. Series: Journal of Physics: Conf. Series 1191 (2019) 012011. I did
the study from 2017 - 2018 in the Research Center for Physics Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI). The research
aimed to determine regional strike and dimensionality using the phase tensor method in Indonesia's Nyalindung
Segment, Cimandiri Fault Zone. Subsequently, the dimensionality analysis stage is crucial for processing
magnetotelluric. Some errors in the interpretation of modeling dimensions may result from the inaccuracies of
conductivity values subsurface. Therefore, our focus of the research was dimensionality analysis. I researched the
phase tensor algorithm because this method ignored galvanic distortion and representation, approaching an accurate
value of dimensionality and regional strike of the study area. Furthermore, the result of our study presented that the
skew angle was -3o ≤ β ≤ 3o. The skew angle can be applied to determine the dimensionality of the study area.
Besides, the rose diagrams of the phase tensor analysis showed that the geoelectrical strike of the study area
dominated to be northeast-southwest direction with N80oE. It indicated the regional structure of the study area
could be assumed as two-dimensional, and the calculated regional strike aligns well with the previous studies.
I am interested in processing and interpreting geophysical data using computational method, such as
phyton, GMT, or octave. Based on my experience, I mainly found the failure to determine subsurface information
from processing and interpretation less precisely, resulting in fatal error for drilling exploration or researching earth
subsurface. I explored at Institute Technology Bandung website and found my candidate supervisor called
Professor Djoko Santoso. He was expertise in geophysics and geology aligned with my research interest.
I intend to research computational method geophysics at Master of Geophysics. Since it is my research
interest issue that mostly geophysical processing data needs computational data analysis as confirmation for
interpreting, thus there is a minimalizing error determining subsurface information. My intended research aims to
analyze geophysical data exploration with a computational method. Therefore, accurate value data subsurface
information is obtained and ready for interpretation. Realizing my research idea, I should observe in the curriculum
Master of Geophysics Institute Technology Bandung. I choose classes such as Geophysical Inversion,
Electromagnetic and geoelectrical and Geophysical modeling. These courses are beneficial for me to improve my
computational skill geophysics, and my electromagnetic geophysics skills. These courses are very supportive for
my research and study. Suppose I get an opportunity to enrol Master of Geophysics Institute Technology Bandung,
I would continue my doctoral degree to become research scientist.
