Semarang, tekkom.ft.undip.ac.id – The Department of Computer Engineering successfully held an online Visiting Professor event on Thursday (23/10/2025). Carrying the theme “AI on Anything,” the event aimed to provide fresh insights into solving case studies relevant to strategic developments in computer engineering. Through this program, students were expected to gain perspectives on various planning approaches successfully implemented in other countries, while also expanding their networks and increasing international exposure. New knowledge on global innovations, including SDG-related case studies, is anticipated to enrich students’ abilities in addressing future challenges in Indonesia’s computer technology landscape.
The event was moderated by Dania Eridani, S.T., M.Eng., who ensured that the discussion ran smoothly and interactively. To achieve the objectives of the program, the Department of Computer Engineering invited two distinguished experts in artificial intelligence.
The first speaker, Prof. Naoki Kobayashi, B.S., M.S., D.S., from Saitama Medical University, Japan, delivered a session titled “Artificial Intelligence? – Transforming to the Medical Field –.” As an expert in medical imaging technology, biomedical signal processing, and telemedicine, Prof. Naoki explained how AI has become an essential component in modern healthcare. He presented several case studies, including the use of machine learning to support remote diagnosis and early alert systems through vital signs monitoring.
The second speaker, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Rivai, S.T., M.T., from the Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Surabaya, presented material on “Gas Sensor Applications Integrated with Artificial Intelligence.” In his session, Prof. Rivai shared several of his research projects, such as the use of gas sensors for diabetes detection, cookie maturity identification, remote gas detection, and various other innovations. He also explained the implementation of the Optical Fiber Interferometer Based Gas Sensor as a supporting technology in his studies.
The engaging presentations from both speakers drew enthusiastic participation from attendees, especially during the question-and-answer session guided by the moderator. The discussion was lively and dynamic, reflecting students’ strong interest in the advancement of artificial intelligence.
Through this Visiting Professor program, the Department of Computer Engineering hopes that students will be better prepared to face professional challenges and encouraged to continue innovating through the application of AI across various fields.
