Karawang, 14 April 2026 – Program Studi Informatika sukses menyelenggarakan Seminar Kelompok Keahlian yang diikuti oleh 200 mahasiswa di Aula Syech Quro Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang, sebagai upaya memberikan pemahaman komprehensif terkait arah pengembangan keilmuan, peluang riset, serta prospek karier di bidang teknologi informasi. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh mahasiswa program studi Informatika mulai semester 2 hingga mahasiswa tingkat akhir. Partisipasi terbesar berasal dari mahasiswa semester 6, mengingat kegiatan ini merupakan bagian dari perkuliahan Metodologi Penelitian yang diampu oleh Betha Nurina Sari, M.Kom. dan Dr. Sofi Defiyanti, M.Kom.
Seminar menghadirkan pemaparan dari empat kelompok keahlian yang ada di program studi Informatika, yaitu Software Engineering, Data Science, Computer Networks & Security, serta AI & Robotics, yang masing-masing disampaikan oleh dosen dan tim ahli di bidangnya. Kelompok Keahlian Software Engineering yang dipresentasikan oleh Kamal Prihandani, M.Kom. mengangkat tren riset terkini yang didominasi oleh pemanfaatan kecerdasan buatan. Topik yang dibahas meliputi penggunaan Large Language Models (LLM) dalam pengembangan perangkat lunak, AI-assisted testing, hingga integrasi keamanan melalui pendekatan DevSecOps. Selain itu, isu penting seperti microservices reliability, technical debt, dan green software engineering turut menjadi perhatian dalam pengembangan sistem perangkat lunak modern.
Selanjutnya, Kelompok Keahlian Computer Networks & Security yang disampaikan oleh Adhi Rizal, S.Pd., M.T. menyoroti pentingnya keamanan infrastruktur digital di tengah meningkatnya ancaman siber. Pembahasan meliputi pengembangan jaringan yang andal, cyber defense, digital forensics, hingga keamanan pada ekosistem Internet of Things (IoT). Selain itu, diperkenalkan pula tren teknologi seperti Zero Trust Architecture, AI for Security, dan blockchain sebagai solusi keamanan masa depan.
Pada sesi Data Science, Dr. Sofi Defiyanti, M.Kom. menjelaskan bahwa data merupakan aset strategis dalam mendukung pengambilan keputusan berbasis bukti. Materi yang disampaikan mencakup pengolahan data, penerapan algoritma machine learning dan deep learning, serta implementasi melalui MLOps, cloud computing, dan edge AI. Selain itu, dipaparkan pula berbagai contoh penerapan di sektor industri dan pertanian yang relevan dengan kebutuhan saat ini . Sementara itu, pada bidang AI & Robotics, Purwantoro, M.Kom. dan Irfan Sriyono Putro, S.T., M.Si memaparkan integrasi kecerdasan buatan dengan sistem robotik dalam membangun sistem otonom. Fokus riset meliputi Edge AI, Industrial IoT (IIoT), autonomous systems, hingga predictive maintenance. Konsep sinergi antara AI sebagai “otak”, IoT sebagai “saraf”, dan robotika sebagai “raga” menjadi pendekatan utama dalam pengembangan teknologi cerdas di berbagai sektor .
Melalui kegiatan ini, mahasiswa diharapkan mampu memahami peta keilmuan secara lebih terarah, sehingga dapat menentukan fokus studi dan topik penelitian sesuai minat serta kebutuhan industri di era transformasi digital. Kegiatan ini juga menjadi bagian dari komitmen Program Studi Informatika dalam meningkatkan kualitas lulusan yang adaptif, inovatif, dan siap bersaing di dunia kerja maupun penelitian.
Informatics Study Program Holds Expertise Group Seminar to Guide Students’ Research Focus
Karawang, April 14, 2026 –The Informatics Study Program successfully organized an Expertise Group Seminar attended by 200 students at the Syech Quro Hall, Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang. The event was conducted as an effort to provide comprehensive insights into scientific development directions, research opportunities, and career prospects in the field of information technology.
The seminar was attended by Informatics students ranging from second-semester students to final-year students. The largest participation came from sixth-semester students, as the activity was integrated into the Research Methodology course taught by Betha Nurina Sari, M.Kom. and Dr. Sofi Defiyanti, M.Kom.
The seminar featured presentations from the four expertise groups within the Informatics Study Program, namely Software Engineering, Data Science, Computer Networks & Security, and AI & Robotics. Each session was delivered by lecturers and experts in their respective fields.
The Software Engineering expertise group, presented by Kamal Prihandani, M.Kom., highlighted current research trends dominated by the utilization of artificial intelligence. Topics discussed included the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in software development, AI-assisted testing, and security integration through the DevSecOps approach. In addition, important issues such as microservices reliability, technical debt, and green software engineering were also emphasized in modern software system development.
Meanwhile, the Computer Networks & Security expertise group, delivered by Adhi Rizal, S.Pd., M.T., emphasized the importance of securing digital infrastructure amid the increasing threat of cyberattacks. The discussion covered reliable network development, cyber defense, digital forensics, and security within the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Emerging technologies such as Zero Trust Architecture, AI for Security, and blockchain were also introduced as future security solutions.
In the Data Science session, Dr. Sofi Defiyanti, M.Kom. explained that data has become a strategic asset in supporting evidence-based decision-making. The materials presented included data processing, the implementation of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, as well as deployment through MLOps, cloud computing, and edge AI. Various real-world applications in industrial and agricultural sectors relevant to current needs were also showcased.
Furthermore, in the AI & Robotics session, Purwantoro, M.Kom. and Irfan Sriyono Putro, S.T., M.Si discussed the integration of artificial intelligence with robotic systems in developing autonomous systems. Research focuses included Edge AI, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), autonomous systems, and predictive maintenance. The concept of synergy between AI as the “brain,” IoT as the “nervous system,” and robotics as the “body” became the central approach in developing intelligent technologies across various sectors.
Through this activity, students are expected to gain a clearer understanding of the scientific landscape, enabling them to determine their study focus and research topics according to their interests and industry demands in the era of digital transformation. This seminar also reflects the Informatics Study Program’s commitment to producing graduates who are adaptive, innovative, and ready to compete in both professional and research environments
