7 Indonesian Citizen Scientists Who Shook the World | OBROLANBISNIS.com — It turns out that Indonesia has many scientists whose discoveries have been recognized by the world. Not only that, some of these discoveries have even received awards and are appreciated in various scientific journals.
These discoveries come from various fields, ranging from technology, health to infrastructure.
The following is a list of seven Indonesians whose discoveries changed the world:
1. R.M Sedyatmo (inventor of the chicken claw foundation)
The graduate of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) in 1934 discovered the infrastructure architecture system or known as the chicken claw foundation. The Soekarno-Hatta runway is one that uses this foundation.
2. Khoirul Anwar (inventor of the two FFT concept)
The two Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) concept will later be used in 4G LTE and become the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard and was patented in 2005. Khoirul is a graduate of NAIST (Nara Institute of Science and Technology) Japan. In addition to the FFT concept, he also has a number of other patents. For example, an illegal transmitter detection system that has the potential to be used in 5G technology.
3. Yogi Ahmad Erlangga (inventor of mathematical formulas in oil)
Yogi managed to solve the Helmholtz equation using numerical mathematics quickly (robust). The results are used for processing seismic data a hundred times faster. The method used is considered better and faster than that used by oil companies. He also managed to find formulas for various oil problems and his abilities attracted the attention of the world oil company, Shell.
4. Randall Hartolaksono (inventor of anti-heat and anti-fire fuel)
Another inventor is Randall who is a graduate of the University of London. He discovered anti-fire and anti-heat materials from cassava skin. In the end, it was used by world automotive companies and recognized by companies such as Petronas and Ford.
5. Muhammad Nurhuda (inventor of environmentally friendly stoves)
A lecturer at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Brawijaya University, has successfully created an environmentally friendly stove. Nurhuda also developed the Design and Construction of a Pilot Plan for Gasification of Waste into Syngas for an Alternative to Environmentally Friendly Electricity Generation, producing waste below the minimum limit set by WHO.
6. Tjokorda Raka Sukawati (inventor of the flyover support system)
Tjokorda is the inventor of the Sosrobahu construction or Obstacle-Free Turning Platform (LPBH). This is a system that can facilitate the construction of service roads without disrupting traffic flow. His findings have been applied by United States (US) engineers when building a bridge in Seattle.
7. Warsito P. Taruno (inventor of cancer therapy devices)
Warsito’s initial idea for his discovery was to help his sister who had stage IV breast cancer. Next he created the Electro-Capacitive Cancer Therapy (ECCT) cancer therapy device. ***
