Jakarta, June 20, 2026 — Innovation and the application of technology are closely intertwined topics, particularly as we enter the current era of transformation. Among the many technological innovations that have emerged, the utilization of wave technology has become one of the most closely watched areas by academics and experts around the world.

Recognizing the urgency of knowledge dissemination and the practical application of wave technology, the Electrical Engineering Study Program at Universitas Dian Nusantara (UNDIRA) proudly hosted an International Webinar — also part of UNDIRA's 53rd Webinar Series — on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The event was organized in collaboration with the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) of Indonesia, with the aim of fostering knowledge exchange and advancing research in the fields of electrical engineering and terahertz waves at a global level.

Also in attendance was UNDIRA's Vice Rector III, Mr. Ir. Muhammad Hasanuddin Thoyieb, M.M., who expressed his appreciation to the Electrical Engineering Study Program, as well as to BRIN's representative, Mr. Yudhistira, M.T., for their involvement in organizing this prestigious scientific forum.

"Technology today has provided a transformative power that is increasingly reshaping human civilization. Technology is no longer merely a tool — it is the very heart that channels scientific disciplines and broadens the horizons of the global science community as a whole. I hope this International Webinar will deliver tangible benefits and pave the way for all of us to continue innovating for the future of humanity," he remarked.

Sharing a similar sentiment, the Head of UNDIRA's Electrical Engineering Study Program, Dr. Arie Pangesti Aji, offered his perspective on the importance of scientific forums surrounding the terahertz wave research ecosystem.

"This International Webinar is not merely a venue for sharing knowledge — it is a genuine bridge between the worlds of research, industry, and society. UNDIRA's Electrical Engineering Study Program believes that cross-institutional and cross-border collaboration is the key to accelerating truly impactful innovation. We hope this event will inspire our students and academics to continue exploring the potential of wave technology, particularly in the context of our nation's needs," said Dr. Arie.

Moving into the material presentation segment, led by Mr. Yudhistira, M.T., an academic and researcher from BRIN Indonesia, he emphasized that research into wave utilization can genuinely open up a range of new perspectives, especially in explaining phenomena we encounter in everyday life.

He elaborated on the limitations of the human visual system in capturing information from light waves. The human eye is only capable of perceiving light in terms of intensity, and therefore cannot directly measure the wavelengths produced by various light sources. These limitations form the basis for the urgent need to develop more advanced polarization detection technologies.

"Waves are fundamentally a fascinating subject, yet for us, their utilization and application remain constrained by biological limitations. The use of a Circular Polarization (CP) Wave Detector presents a highly impactful solution for society. CP detector technology is capable of measuring and visualizing polarized waves selectively, while simultaneously enhancing wave absorption and the quality of the resulting imagery," he explained.

"The array principle, when extended to a system with multiple devices, enables the creation of high-resolution polarity wave imaging results," he added.

Research into wave polarization detection will be highly relevant and applicable in the development of millimeter-to-micrometer scale technologies, particularly for imaging purposes in the fields of renewable energy and bioelectrical applications — two strategic sectors that have become national research and innovation priorities in supporting Indonesia's sustainable development.

With a spirit of collaboration, innovation, and dedication to the nation, UNDIRA's Electrical Engineering Study Program stands ready to be at the forefront of realizing an Indonesia that is advanced, technologically sovereign, and capable of actively contributing to the global landscape of science and knowledge.
