Adhitya Bhawiyuga
Adhitya is a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente, specializing in Geo-information Processing. His research, in collaboration with The Center of Expertise in Big Geodata Science (CRIB), focuses on energy-efficiency on earth observation big data processing within cloud computing environmet. He holds an M.Sc. in Logistics Information Technology from Pusan National University, Korea (2013) with the focus on vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communication. For the past 10 years, Adhitya has worked as a lecturer and researcher at the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia. His experience includes collaborating on national and international projects such as the Indonesia Matching Fund Project, Erasmus+ Micro-Credential, and NICT ASEAN IVO Project. Beyond his primary research, Adhitya has developed a keen interest in the intersection of cloud computing service orchestration and scientific big data processing, particularly in the geospatial domain.
Session
This session aims to explore the feasibility of a community-driven approach to foster energy-efficient scientific computing in the Netherlands. By engaging researchers, support staff, and infrastructure providers, such an initiative can establish a self-sustaining Community of Practice, create an open knowledge base with practical training on energy monitoring and reduction in scientific computing, and organize nationwide training sessions to build foundational expertise. Together, these actions can complement infrastructure-level efficiency improvements with user-level practices, advancing sustainable and environmentally responsible research. A soon-to-be-launched initiative supported by TDCC-NES seeks to do this in the Natural and Engineering Sciences (NES) domain. During the session, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the initiative, share feedback, and discuss ways to expand its impact to other scientific domains in the Netherlands.
