MSc, Structural Engineering

Grade: Distinction From the course I developed a more comprehensive understanding in Structural Analysis through Finite Element Methods and Structural Reliability module. In addition, broaden my knowledge in Structural engineering application by completing Engineering Mechanics of Composites, Structural Collapse Dynamics, and Seismic Resistant Design module. The topic of my dissertation research was on the effect of rain drop impact towards the fatigue life of woven composite material used in a wind turbine blade. I implemented Finite Element Modelling, Dynamic Stress Analysis, and Fatigue Damage Calculation. The research concluded the significance of rain drop impact in the fatigue life of FRP and the importance of maintaining the coating in a turbine blade.

Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Civil And Structural Engineering

Grade: First Class Activities and societies: PPI NewcastleActivities and societies: PPI Newcastle Developed the understanding from basic to advanced civil engineering knowledge and Eurocodes from various modules in Civil and Structural Engineering course. In addition, strong understanding in modules related to structural analysis and design is demonstrated through first class marks achieved for the relevant modules. In the final year of the course, produced an investigative research project entitled \Development of Methodology for Investigating the Significance of Friction-based Isolation System in an Indonesian Traditional House\.

MiBlog Student Writer

MiBlog is a platform curated by Midas IT UK for undergraduate civil engineers to share their knowledge in current civil engineering trends or their experience in civil engineering. The experience Improved my ability of research and to produce an informative writing from different sources for readers not only of engineering background but also public with novice knowledges. For the articles I produced, I tried to focus on diverse topics of civil engineering including industry trend and current technology used.

Structural Engineering Intern

Gistama Intisemesta is a structural engineering consultant in Jakarta which puts their focus mainly on high-rise buildings with seismic resistant design. I was trusted to produce a comparison report between two type of seismic analysis, Equivalent Lateral Force and Modal Response Spectrum. From the task I gained an in-depth knowledge in applying seismic analysis to building structures.

In the process, I was taught to use different structural engineering software such as ETABS, SAFE, and SAP2000 to model the structural system (Moment frames, facades, and foundation) of a pre-existing 8 story structure.
