 DOCTORAL PROGRAM INFORMATION DAY 2018
SPEAKER
BIOGRAPHIES
PROFESSOR BERND MEYER PROFESSOR TONY PATTI PROFESSOR IEKHSAN OTHMAN
Associate Dean (Graduate Research),
Faculty of Information Technology
Professor Bernd Meyer is the Associate
Dean (Graduate Research) in the Faculty
of Information Technology. He works in
computational ecology, where he develops
mathematical and computational models
for the interactions of organisms with their
environment, including the impact our
changing environment has on their lives.
Most of his work is centered on the collective
behavior of social insects, such as bees and
ants, in the hope that a deeper understanding
of their behavior will allow us to better protect
them and the important ecosystem services
they provide. Insect societies are entirely
self-organized, without any central leader or
master plan. How such decentralized “super-
organisms” plan and coordinate their actions
is still a largely open question. Prof. Meyer’s
work uses and extends a wide range of
mathematical and computational techniques,
including reaction-advection diffusion,
stochastic event analysis, and evolutionary
game theory to explain this. Some of this work
has interesting implications for a branch of
bio-mimetic engineering and algorithm design,
popularly known as “swarm intelligence”.
Professor Meyer has over 20 years
experience in tertiary teaching and curriculum
development. He also works closely with
schools to create a new kind of ‘early start’
curriculum that investigates computation
beyond programming.

Associate Dean (International),
Faculty of Science of School (Graduate Research), Jefferey Cheah
Tony Patti’s research areas of interest are
in organic chemistry, particularly relating to
the chemistry of soil organic matter, humic
substances and related green chemistry.
This research interest also includes studies
of organic amendments such as composts
and other soil amendments. The research
has focussed on the nature of the organic
matter in soil, reactions of organic matter in
the soil environment and how environmental
conditions affect the nature of this organic
matter. The overall aim of this work is to
understand the dynamics of soil organic
matter (including added waste materials from
industry) in the environment, in order to assist
with improved management practices for use
of sustaining soil fertility and retaining carbon
in the soil.

The research was on the survival and
contribution of Javanese traditions in this
contemporary context with the title ‘Celebrity

Jogja Hip Hop Foundation (JHF)’. This thesis
deals with the birth, rise, and decline
of a hip hop group from Yogyakarta; its
characteristics, its contexts, and its dynamics.
JHF’s product was the Java Hip Hop so
that an analysis on this provides a birds eye
view on the potentials, limitations, as well as
tensions of expressing Javaneseness in this
contemporary setting.
