Ahmad Ishamul Ayady Akmal

Background & Overview

I am a metallurgical engineer and LPDP–Tsingshan Group scholar currently pursuing my Master of Engineering at the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). My research focuses on numerical modeling of non-metallic inclusion evolution in continuous casting of heavy rail steel using ANSYS Fluent CFD.

My academic foundation is in electrical engineering (B.Eng., University of Jember, GPA 3.66/4.00), where my undergraduate thesis was published in a Q3 Scopus journal — the International Journal of Power Electronics and Drive Systems (2023). I was also a recipient of the prestigious Djarum Beasiswa Plus scholarship.

Beyond academia, I have field experience as a Site Support Equipment Group Leader at PT Hasnur Riung Sinergi, leading a team of 17 mechanics and welders in SHE-compliant maintenance of heavy mining equipment in South Kalimantan.

I am targeting roles in process engineering, R&D, laboratory analysis, and quality assurance within metallurgical and smelting operations, leveraging both simulation expertise and hands-on industrial experience.
