The number of Professors at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at UI has increased again, Professor Wibowo Mangunwardoyo officially became a Permanent Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at UI after being inaugurated by the Chancellor of the University of Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Ir. Muhammad Anis, M.Met. on Wednesday (9\/8\/2017) at the Makara Art Centrum Building, UI, Depok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the food industry, for example, Aspergillus<\/em> spp. berperan besar dalam pembuatan kecap.

One of the obstacles is the difficulty in developing basic science in this country.\" Prof. Wibowo contributed suggestions that universities be abundant with facilities and infrastructure to support the development of basic science research. In addition, it is also necessary to build cooperation with various institutions, organizational improvements, human resource management, work efficiency and regular funding sources.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Guru Besar FMIPA UI kembali bertambah, Profesor Wibowo Mangunwardoyo resmi menjadi Guru Besar Tetap FMIPA UI setelah dikukuhkan oleh Rektor Universitas Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Ir.
