On Friday, October 2, 2026, the Media, Game and Mobile (MGM) Laboratory held its very first Zemi session.
Zemi is a weekly session organized by the MGM Laboratory where master's students can share and discuss their ongoing research. It gives them a chance to present what they have been working on, get feedback, and have a discussion with lecturers and other members of the laboratory.
For the first session, we had two master's students presenting their research, along with lecturers and other members of the MGM Laboratory joining the discussion.
The first Zemi was held in a hybrid format at Teater Heuristik, Building A, 2nd Floor, from 13.00 to 15.00 WIB. We were joined by Ir. Aryo Pinandito, S.T., M.MT., Ph.D. and Eriq Muhammad Adams Jonemaro, S.T., M.Kom. as lecturers who also took part in the discussion and shared their perspectives on the presented research.
For this first session, we had two presenters.
The first was Muhamad Zidane Arfani, who presented his research entitled:
“Quality and Performance Analysis of Lanczos Resampling Image with Hamming Filter in ReactJS Mobile Web Application”
His research looks at image resampling using the Lanczos method combined with a Hamming filter, specifically in a ReactJS-based mobile web application. The research focuses on looking at both the quality of the resulting images and the performance of the approach.
The second presenter was Syahrizal Azzuri, who presented:
“Efisiensi Rekonstruksi Kit-Build Concept Map Pada Platform Inklusif Berbasis Smartphone”
His research focuses on the efficiency of reconstructing Kit-Build Concept Maps through an inclusive smartphone-based platform. It explores how smartphone technology can be used to support more accessible learning and knowledge representation.
Although the main part of Zemi is the research presentation, it is not really meant to be just a presentation session. After each presentation, there is a discussion where presenters can get questions, suggestions, and different perspectives about their research. Sometimes a question from someone else can make you look at your own research differently. And I think that's one of the most useful parts of having a regular research-sharing session. For the other members of the laboratory, it is also a chance to see what everyone else is working on. MGM itself has research that covers different areas, including media, games, mobile applications, and interactive technology. So even when a topic isn't directly related to what you're working on, there is usually still something interesting to take away from it.
The first Zemi session is basically the start of what we hope will become a regular part of life in the MGM Laboratory. By doing it every week, researchers have a place to regularly share their progress, talk about problems they are facing, and get feedback from other people in the laboratory. More importantly, it gives research a space to be discussed instead of being something that happens quietly on its own. Of course, the first session isn't going to be perfect. There will always be things that we can improve as we go.
The important thing is that we started. Our first Zemi brought together two research topics, two presenters, lecturers, and members of the laboratory for an afternoon of discussion and learning. And hopefully, this is just the first of many.
See you at the next Zemi.

Two different topics, but that's also what makes sessions like this interesting.
