Physics of Functional Materials

The Physics of Functional Materials (AMORF) specialisation focuses on the fabrication and characterisation of various functional materials, such as adsorbent materials, magnetic materials, catalytic materials, composites, fillers, and biomaterials. This specialisation also highlights the application of materials in the energy sector. Students who choose AMORF will gain both theoretical knowledge and experimental skills to understand and develop functional materials that are efficient, innovative, and sustainable. The specialisation is supported by a range of modern laboratory facilities, including high- and low-temperature furnaces, thermal milling, grinders, digital microscopes, universal testing machines, and characterisation instruments such as UV-Vis, SEM, XRD, and XRF. Students also have the opportunity to participate in research funded by DIPA, national research grants (Hibah Dikti), and student research programs (PKM), with research outcomes published in nationally accredited (SINTA) and internationally reputable journals and even leading to patent applications. Under the guidance of experienced lecturers such as Dr. Dwiria Wahyuni, Asifa Asri, M.Si, Mega Nurhanisa, M.Si, and Retna Arilasita, M.Si, the AMORF specialisation offers a range of elective modules covering topics such as carbon materials physics, biomaterials, magnetic materials, polymers, nanomaterials, energy materials, and ceramics.
