The second event of the Webinar Series on Informatics organized by Informatics Islamic University of Indonesia and partner universities from abroad was held on Saturday (10/3). After successfully holding the first webinar series entitled Introduction to Blockchain, this second webinar focuses more on data science.

In this webinar, three academics became speakers with a theme that broadens their horizons in the world of data science. Dhomas Hatta Fudholi, Ph.D., a lecturer from the Islamic University of Indonesia specializing in data science opened the event with a presentation on a meeting of data science and design thinking. In his presentation, he said that a data engineer cannot only meet other data experts in the professional world. Instead, they will also meet many people from various fields such as design, business, and others. Therefore, it is important to master thinking methods such as design thinking.

The event continued with the presentation of a paper entitled “Towards the heart of the Machine: The Future in Artificial Emotional Intelligence” by Dini Oktarina Dwi Handayani, Ph.D. from Taylor’s University.

Meanwhile, Song Wan Li, Ph.D. from Nanjing Xiaozhuang University, China, got the last turn after exchanging the order of speakers with Dhomas Hatta Fudholi, although the theme he presented, Introduction to Data Science, would ideally be the opening act for this event.

The second series of webinars lasted up to 4 hours and was watched by more than 300 spectators from various countries. Furthermore, Informatika will still hold a webinar with the theme of network security on 17 October.
