[28] The Scholar Visit Series 2026. It had been a long time since I last saw Prof. Hidenobu Yazima, when he was an assistant professor at Tohoku University. Now a professor at the University of Tsukuba, he welcomed me warmly, gave me a tour of his lab, and discussed potential research projects using the university’s supercomputer.
[27] The Scholar Visit Series 2026. It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Kohei Ichikawa in person. We had a lively discussion about potential research collaborations and opportunities for students to visit his lab at FRIS, Tohoku University, where he is an associate professor.
[26] The Scholar Visit Series 2026. I am grateful to Dr. Takashi Murayama, who supported me in many ways during my PhD at Tohoku University, especially with IT systems, servers, and related matters. He also supervised one of our early-career colleague from ITB during her PhD studies.
[25] The Scholar Visit Series 2026. Prof. Toshifumi Futamase was my primary PhD supervisor at the Astronomical Institute of Tohoku University. It was wonderful to meet him again at Tohoku for the first time since I hosted him in Indonesia nearly three years ago. We also had a productive discussion about our project with my student.
[24] The Scholar Visit Series 2026. It was a pleasure to have a thoughtful discussion with Prof. Masayuki Akiyama. I am grateful to him for accepting our former student and providing such excellent guidance. As Chair of the Department, he also shared valuable perspectives as we discussed student exchange opportunities, the development of astronomy in Indonesia, and other areas of potential collaboration.
[23] The Scholar Visit Series 2026. Prof. Masashi Chiba was one of my supervisors during my PhD at the Astronomical Institute of Tohoku University. I was very happy to see him again in person. I continue to value his wisdom and advice, and to pass the lessons I learned from him on to my students.
[22] The Scholar Visit Series 2026. It was a pleasure to meet and discuss our work with Dr. Kenneth Wong, my host at RESCEU, the University of Tokyo, and Dr. Edi Rusu. Both mentored me during my PhD, and we continue to collaborate on several gravitational lensing projects.
[20] The Scholar Visit Series 2026 began on November 2 with a visit to Kindai University in Higashi-Osaka. I had a valuable discussion with Prof. Kaiki T. Inoue, my postdoctoral supervisor, about opportunities for joint supervision, student exchanges, and research collaboration. I was also pleased to hear a presentation by Nakano-kun, one of Prof. Inoue’s students, who is applying machine learning to gravitational lensing research.
[19] It was an honor to serve as a panelist at NVIDIA Days at ITB, where I shared ITB’s experience and practices in using AI in education.
[18] Anton completed the ITB Ultra Marathon 2026 for the first time! It was a memorable new experience and the beginning of a healthy habit.
