This is a summary of my mentoring session with Dr. Neill Barr. The mentoring session discussed my final research and creativity program.
My Final Research
Dr.
Neill stated that the experiment I was going to do was quite simple and seemed
to answer problems in the field of marine acoustics. However, some questions
look confusing to think about. First, this measurement can also change the
behavior of the fish that will be used as objects, how do I keep the object
still when making measurements? There will be many variables that must be
measured with different treatments for each parameter (bubbles, fish,
measurement orientation, bubble size, fish's size and control variables). The
resulting bubble must be controllable so that conclusions can be drawn about
the effect of bubble size on measurement.
The following tools are suggested by Dr. Neill for my final
research :
- Micro diffuser
- Air Rotameter
(The advantage of this tool is that it can measure the size of
the bubbles to be produced in advance)
Aeration Hose
(This tool is the same as a micro diffuser, only the dimensions,
and the resulting bubbles are bigger)
DIY Ceramic Diffuser
Simulated fish
(An object substitute that has an empty space in it such as a swim bladder. So that the object is easier to research).
Student creativity
program
Dr. Neill thinks that this idea is very noble to try to
eliminate marine debris in Indonesia. As we all know, the problem of marine
debris has become a problem for all of us internationally.
Several things must be considered in developing this idea:
- Can the size of the AUV and ASV reduce marine debris? Even if possible, the program must be very "smart". I also agree with Dr. Neill's application of deep learning or artificial intelligence might take extra time if applied in Indonesia.
- The problem of waste management does not have to be considered at all. It is possible to find partners who can process waste into useful products.
- After seeing the video uploaded on YouTube, Dr. Neill began to understand what I was trying to say and would think about discussing the program I created further
