Dr Andri Dian Nugraha, Professor of Seismology

Professor (Professor) is the highest academic position for a lecturer. In terms of language, professor means someone who is known to the public by profession as an expert in the field he is engaged in. Of course, the process to get to a position as an expert is not something instant. Many things have been done and many works have been produced and published as a form of scientific accountability.

For a lecturer, there are at least three things that are always attached to him, namely teaching, research and service. These three things are then known as the tridarma of higher education, the place where a lecturer takes part and works. The proper implementation of the tridarma of higher education is part of the professionalism of a lecturer.
