HSTEM 2011 - Excellent Meeting for this year about International Space Station (ISS)

About Me

Wayan Suparta (born in Klungkung, Bali, Indonesia) is a senior lecturer at the Institute of Space Science (ANGKASA), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (2008 - present). He was appointed as a Post Doctoral Fellow in 2007 at the same Institute and university. He obtained his PhD in 2007 in the field of Electronics Communication and remote sensing application (GPS Meteorology) from the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Systems Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UKM. He started his career as a teacher of Physics, Electronics and Computer in SMUK Cor Jesu Malang (1994-1997), Teacher of Physics and Electronics in SMUK Santo Aloysius Bandung (1997-2000), and at the same time he was a part time lecturer at many universities in Bandung by lecturing subjects: Instrumentation physics, Basic Electronics and Web design. After completing his Master's Degree in 2000 at the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) in the field of semiconductor electronics (physics), he then appointed as a Lecturer of Engineering Electronic (2000-2004) at the Legenda College Group, Malaysia that has collaborated with University Technology of Malaysia (UTM). He obtained his degree in Physics Instrumentation (1994) and Diploma (1991) from the University of Sanata Dharma, Yogyakarta. His employment experiences were include the lecturing on the subject of physics and computers, instrumentation and microelectronics. Besides more than 15 years experience in lecturing, he also conducted research with more than ten years experience. His current research interest includes satellite remote sensing application for space weather and climate studies, natural disasters, solar terrestrial physics, modeling of satellite disturbances and near field communication (NFC). His previous research focused on the Polar Sciences that investigated the tropospheric-ionospheric propagation and application of GPS sensing technique for solar-terrestrial studies through the vantage point on Earth, i.e. Polar (Antarctic-Arctic) and Equatorial regions. He also interests to monitor lightning activity, landslide deformation and crops production using GPS. Started in 2003 and in 2010, he was found a new method to correlate the upper and lower levels of the atmosphere based on GPS sensing technique. This method was awarded with a bronze medal by Universiti kebangsaan Malaysia in 2011. In 2011, he has also published a book with title "Remote sensing of solar Influence on Antarctic terrestrial climate from a GPS Perspective" by Nova Science Publishers, New York, USA.     Wold wide Lightning Location network (WWLLN) University of Washington in Seattle operating a network of lightning location sensors at VLF (3-30 kHz). Most ground-based observations in the VLF band are dominated by impulsive signals from lightning discharges called “sferics”. Significant radiated electromagnetic power exists from a few hertz to several hundred megahertz, with the bulk of the energy radiated at VLF.
