What is Special Scholarship Program (SSP)?

Special Scholarship Program (SSP) was established in 2003 in order to support the advanced research of the university by enlisting the help of highly capable international students. Every year in April and October, the university enrolls selected foreign doctoral students under specific research projects. The students pursue the doctoral course in English while at the same time assisting their host professor as a research assistant (RA). Through this program KUT wishes to expand and deepen international ties with academic and educational institutions all over the world. →Message from SSP students

Carnegie Mellon University-AusAID Scholarships

MSPPM Scholarships & MSIT Scholarships

The Heinz School is committed to making a graduate education
affordable for talented students. No separate application is
necessary. Students who note in the application for admission that
they would like to be considered for financial aid will be
automatically considered for any applicable scholarship opportunity.
Examples of scholarships include:
Carnegie Mellon University-AusAID Scholarships

Carnegie Mellon University-AusAID Scholarships are funded by the
Australian Government to support a limited number of students from
countries where Australia has a bilateral aid program, to study at
the university's Heinz School in Adelaide, Australia. These
scholarships are available to full time students.

Scholarship benefits include full tuition, return economy airfares, a
contribution to living expenses, and basic medical insurance.
Applicants must satisfy both AusAID's general eligibility criteria
and the specific criteria established for their country of
citizenship.

A detailed listing of eligible countries, criteria (general
eligibility and country specific), and scholarship benefits can be
found by visiting the AusAID website.

Applications for the January 2009 intake are now being accepted (the
closing date for AusAid applications is the 30/06/08.) Carnegie
Mellon University-AusAID Scholarships are only available to students
who have already been offered a place at Carnegie Mellon University.

MSPPM Scholarships

MSPPM Scholarships are merit based awards available to either full or
part time students.
South Australian Government Scholarships

Scholarships covering a significant portion of tuition are available.
To be considered for a scholarship, applicants will meet Carnegie
Mellon's admission requirements. Apply at https://
app.applyyourself.com/?id=cmu-spp and answer `yes' when you are asked
if you want to be considered for `financial aid.'

Australian students are also eligible for a FEE-HELP tuition loan,
which can be used to meet the residual cost of tuition not covered by
scholarship.

Research Vacancies at LabMath-Indonesia
The research positions announced below are related to a research
project funded by the KNAW, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Art and
Sciences.

Supervision of the research will be done at LabMath-Indonesia by the
senior staffs in this project:
Prof. Dr. Sri Widiyantoro (SW, ITB),
Dr. Hamzah Latief (HL, ITB),
Dr. Andonowati (ITB & LMI),
Prof. Dr. Brenny van Groesen (BvG, LMI & UTwente), Dr. Ardhasena
Sopaheluwakan (AS, LMI).

Aim of the project is to perform original research that will be
published in international journals and that is directly relevant to
improve tsunami simulations. In fact, it is generally accepted that at
present, tsunami simulations have errors of a factor of two when
compared to field measurements. One of the causes of these errors is
the generation phase: the translation of the motion of the ocean
bottom to the resulting disturbance of the water: the tsunami
generation process. At least five research positions are available to
support the research project into various aspects of this problem:

1. Benchmarking of Tsunami Codes We will compare the results and
performance of two tsunami codes: the well-validated code of Hamzah
Latief (ITB Tsunami Research Group) and the recent Variational
Boussinesq Code developed at LabMath-Indonesia. Supervisors: HL , AS &
Didit Adytia.

2. Wave generation by bottom excitations Tectonic ocean bottom motions
will possibly generate a tsunami. We will use theory and simple
simulations to learn about the horizontal influx effects that are
usually neglected but may give large energy input. Supervisors: BvG &
Didit Adytia.

3. Principles of Inverse Water Wave Modelling We use a new model for
fast and reliable uni-directional wave motion to study all aspects of
\'inverse\'
modelling: given the elevation signal at one place, find the signal at
the moment of excitation at another position. Supervisors: BvG & AS

4. Inverse modelling using buoy data for bottom excitation As in the
previous topic, but now we use real data from measurements by buoys
(deployed by Indonesia) to try to find characteristics of the tsunami
generation area and the excitation process. Supervisors: HL , SW, AS &
BvG.

5. Bottom excitation from seismic data How much information can we
extract from seismic signals about the (time-dynamic) bottom
excitation. Literature search, simple models and signal analysis.
Supervisors: SW & BvG.

REQUESTED QUALIFICATIONS

Candidates should be eager to be involved in this research and learn
many new topics and ideas. They should have good knowledge of
calculus/ analysis including ordinary and partial differential
equations, and be experienced in programming, for instance in Matlab.
Students or graduates with good grades in S1 or S2 from mathematics,
physics, oceanography, geosciences, engineering etc can profit very
much from this research experience. A sound scientific attitude
(critical, inventive and independent) should be accompanied by a
strong motivation and disciplined work attitude.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Candidates should send an updated CV, a copy of last degree and
academic record, proof of English proficiency and letter of motivation
before 15 June 2008 by email to:
Dr. A. Sopaheluwakan: ardhasena_at_labmath-indonesia.or.id
with cc to
Prof. van Groesen: groesen_at_labmath-indonesia.or.id.

RESEARCH POSITIONS: OFFER
The researches are executed at LabMath-Indonesia, Jl. Anatomi 19, Bandung.
Including a one-month probation period, the positions are at least for
a period of 3 months (full-time) up to one year (possibly part-time).
If desired, we will support your personal development, including
improvement of English when needed, and support to find continued
study abroad (MSc or PhD). During the execution you will get valuable
experience in mathematical modelling and simulation in this exciting
area in geosciences, and will work in a stimulating environment. The
salary will depend on qualifications and performance.
