From 10 August to 9 September 2026, graduate students from the School of Agricultural Technology and Food Industry (SAF), Walailak University, took part in an international research exchange under the iLEARN Project at Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia. Supported by SAF and the Center for International Affairs (CIA), the initiative aimed to strengthen academic synergy and expand cross-border research collaborations.
Two international graduate students conducted specialized thesis-related research under the joint mentorship of Walailak University faculty and host professors from Universitas Brawijaya:
-
Mr. Chandrasekhar Manikala, a master’s student, conducted research under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thanet Khomphet (Walailak University), with academic guidance from Dr. Noer Rahmi Ardiarini, S.P., M.Si. (Universitas Brawijaya) as his host professor.
-
Mr. Khalil Ahmad, a Ph.D. student in Agriculture and Food Science, carried out research at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Dr. Chantira Wongnen (Walailak University), with academic guidance from Dr. Yuli Frita Nuningtyas (Universitas Brawijaya) as his host professor.
During the one-month research attachment, the students gained advanced laboratory and field research experience, enriched their thesis inquiries, and participated in dynamic academic discussions. This mobility strengthens institutional ties, paving the way for joint scholarly publications and enduring bilateral partnerships between Walailak University and Universitas Brawijaya.
