Student Bio
Fadhli Atarita completed his Master of Applied Science in Geological Engineering from Queen’s University with NSERC CREATE UTILI in September 2021 and has since continued his study as a Ph.D. candidate at Queen’s University as a part of the Geoselenic Research Project. He did his master’s research under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Braun and wrote a thesis titled “Hyperspectral Imaging Simulator and Applications for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.” He addressed the questions about the efficiency and effectivity of UAV hyperspectral surveys through numerical simulation and evaluated the optimum survey designs applicable for certain geological conditions by modifying a wide array of independent parameters. In this thesis, he also discussed a few alternative applications of hyperspectral imaging from various platforms.
Fadhli is from Indonesia and in 2017 he graduated from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) with a Bachelor of Engineering in Geophysical Engineering. During his time as an undergraduate student, Fadhli worked as a research assistant conducting research on rock magnetics, microcomputed tomography, geophysics, volcanology, and petrology. Throughout his years as a graduate student, he has done several projects on various topics, namely: the transformation of gravity and magnetic fields of Ontario, spatial analysis of geothermal energy potential from abandoned wells in Alberta, and satellite thermal data as an earthquake precursor. His research mainly employs numerical and computational geophysics using various programming languages, software, and operating systems.
