Dr. Diari Indriati, M.Si., Speaker at International Conference on Mathematics and Its Applications (ICMA’2024)
October 16, 2024 – Dr. Diari Indriati, M.Si., a distinguished lecturer from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), was invited to speak at the International Conference on Mathematics and its Applications 2024 (ICMA’2024), hosted by Bharathidasan University in Tamilnadu, India. This prestigious event brought together scholars, researchers, and industry experts from around the world to explore the latest developments in mathematics and its diverse applications in various fields.
The conference was organized in collaboration with E. G. S. Pillay & Sons Charitable and Educational Trust, one of the finest educational institutions in India, strategically located in the rural Nagapattinam district. Established in 1996 by the visionary G. S. Pillay, the institution has grown exponentially over the past two decades and now educates more than 4,500 students across 19 undergraduate, 11 postgraduate, and 5 doctoral programs. The Trust is committed to providing quality education and holistic development to its students, in line with its motto: “To make every man a success and no man a failure.”
In her presentation, Dr. Diari delivered a talk on Palatability and its practical applications, particularly in the context of technology and industry. Palatability refers to the appeal or attractiveness of a product, especially in the food and health sectors, where consumer preferences are critical to product success. Dr. Diari highlighted the importance of mathematical models and techniques in analyzing and testing palatability, showing how these approaches can be applied to optimize product development, improve quality, and meet consumer demands.
Dr. Diari also emphasized how the application of mathematical analysis in palatability testing could lead to innovation across industries. By incorporating data-driven insights, companies can enhance the sensory attributes of products—such as taste, texture, and aroma—ultimately improving customer satisfaction and gaining a competitive edge in the market.
Her insightful presentation received positive feedback from fellow participants, reinforcing the role of mathematics in solving real-world challenges and contributing to industry innovation. The international audience appreciated the depth of her research and the practical relevance of her work, which bridges academic theory and its application in everyday industries.
The International Conference on Mathematics and its Applications serves as a global platform for fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange between academic institutions and industry professionals. Dr. Diari’s participation in ICMA 2024 not only highlights her expertise in applying mathematical theories to industrial problems but also strengthens UNS’s reputation on the global academic stage. It opens up new avenues for international collaborations, particularly in interdisciplinary research areas that combine mathematics, technology, and industry.
Dr. Diari’s contributions at ICMA 2024 reflect her ongoing commitment to advancing the application of mathematics in addressing global challenges. Her involvement in such prestigious conferences elevates UNS’s visibility in the international academic community and showcases the significant role of Indonesian scholars in shaping global research and innovation.
