Catatan Pribadi tentang DR. Warsito; Calon Peraih Hadiah Nobel dari Indonesia

Oleh Oom-nya Ghozi Aktivis OSIS SMU 1 Bantul


Pertama kali aku mengenal DR. Warsito, sekitar tahun 2002, ketika ada pertemuan para teknokrat dan ekonom di Puspiptek Serpong, Tangerang. Kebetulan aku diundang sebagai perwakilan mahasiswa dari Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). Selain itu, juga ada perwakilan mahasiswa dari Universitas Indonesia (UI) dan Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB). Pada acara tersebut, DR. Warsito sebagai pembicara dipanel dengan DR. Dzulkieflimansyah, pakar ekonomi industri dari Universitas Indonesia.


Penampilannya yang perlente, menyiratkan pengaruh gaya hidup barat, dimana ia bekerja di Ohio State University, Amerika Serikat, setelah sebelumnya bekerja di Shizuoka University Jepang. Tetapi saat ini, ia sudah memutuskan untuk membangun laboratorium sendiri di Indonesia.


Semenjak pertemuan itu dan pertemuan selanjutnya tahun 2004 di Jakarta, aku semakin intens berinteraksi dengan DR. Warsito. Kita sama-sama aktif di Masyarakat Ilmuwan dan Teknolog Indonesia (MITI) yang diresmikan Prof. BJ Habibie, mantan wapres, di Hotel Indonesia Jakarta. By the way nih, DR.Warsito sering disebut-sebut sebagai Habibie generasi ke-2, Kita cukup sering mengisi bareng acara-acara di berbagai kampus di Indonesia, sering jalan bareng, makan bareng, tidur bareng. uupps....maksudnya tidur satu kamar tapi beda tempat tidur. Satu perjalanan yang mengesankan bersama DR. Warsito, ketika dari Semarang, selepas mengisi acara di Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP), kita melaju malam hari ke Kediri. Karena saking lelahnya, diantara kita tidur mendengkur keras, hingga membuat sang sopir gak bisa tidur :D. Keesokan harinya dari Kediri, kita berangkat ke Malang, untuk mengisi acara di Universitas Brawijaya (Unibraw). Karena pagi harinya makan nasi goreng, kepedesan kali ya, pas nyampe Malang, kita musti puter-puter cari toilet, karena sakit perut :D. Malu dong, kalo nanti disambut panitia, kita malah ngeloyor cari WC.


DR. Warsito berasal dari keluarga petani, udah pada tau khaan.... dari posting sebelumnya. Cah ndeso di tahun 70-an, yang mungkin nggak pernah kepikir buat sekolah ke luar negeri. Mungkin sama dengan kamu, yang saat ini, gak pernah kepikir untuk bisa sekolah keluar negeri dan menjadi terkenal di seantero dunia. Tetapi, mungkin kita punya kesamaan, yaitu kita masih bisa punya IMPIAN. Impian untuk bisa sekolah keluar negeri, impian untuk sukses dan juga terkenal. Aku cukup sedih, ketika tahu banyak pelajar Bantul yang tidak (bisa) melanjutkan sekolah ke Perguruan Tinggi dan menjadi TKI keluar negeri. Apakah karena permasalahan ekonomi? Apakah karena permasalah sosial budaya di keluarga dan masyarakat sekitar kita? Permasalahan tersebut sebenarnya bisa kita atasi, jika kita punya impian. Impian yang akan mendorong kita dengan keras, untuk berbuat yang terbaik untuk hidup kita. Sebagaimana impian DR. Warsito, impian RA Kartini, impian Habibie, dan impian semua orang besar lainnya.


Oh ya...., DR. Warsito oleh KoranTempo, dinobatkan sebagai 10 pemuda terbaik Indonesia. Belum lagi penghargaan lainnya dari dalam dan luar negeri. Dan saat ini, DR. Warsito, selain membina riset mahasiswa-mahasiswa Indonesia, juga mahasiswa asing, seperti mahasiswa Jepang dan Amerika. Hebat khaann...!! Kalo ngisi Seminar-seminar Internasional di luar negeri, mahasiswa-mahasiswa asing pada berduyun-duyun antri untuk konsultasi dengan DR.Warsito. Kayak selebritis gitu deh, kalo di Indonesia. Malah kalo disini, selebritis lebih laku tanda tangannya ketimbang ilmuwan ya :D. Jadi, aku ingin mengatakan sama kamu semua, kalo kamu bakal beruntung banget, jika bisa ketemu dan diskusi langsung dengan DR. Warsito. Gak pernah kebayang khan..., kalo seorang calon peraih Hadiah Nobel seperti DR. Warsito bisa datang langsung ke Bantul, kota kecil di pelosok jogja. Jangan sia-siakan kesempatan ini, karena kamu masih bisa punya IMPIAN BESAR untuk hidupmu dan keluargamu.

Warsito: Key researcher into a vital analytical tool
(dikutip dari The Jakarta Post)

Features - March 25, 2006

Multa Fidrus, The Jakarta Post, Tangerang


Warsito was one of 16 Indonesian scientists selected by the Indonesia Institute of Sciences to deliver a presentation on his invention, volume tomography, at a meeting with professor Douglas Dean Osherff, the 1996 Nobelist for physics.


The meeting, titled Toward Bright and Brilliant Indonesians, was held in Jakarta to mark the start of Indonesia Science Year in November last year.


Tomography is defined as imaging by sections or sectioning.


Warsito is the only scientist in the world who has managed to develop tomography and create volume tomography, an analytical tool that can be used in four dimensions and has industrial applications.


The tool can examine refinery pipes at oil wells and pipelines in four dimensions.


"Refinery pipes at oil wells usually contain oil mixed with sand, soil and gas. With the assistance of the tool, we can see how much oil is in refinery pipes and oil pipelines at all oil wells across the country, from Jakarta," he said.


He said that with the tool, oil firms can save much time and expense.


According to Warsito, the tool works with the help of a sensor installed around refinery pipes and pipelines. The sensor is connected to a series of electronic devices that are also connected to a computer. The computer will processes information from the refinery pipes and pipelines using algorithms that will, in turn, form a four-dimensional image.


He said that volume tomography can also be developed for airport security and the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food, medicine and health industries since he just needs to modify the software.


"Volume tomography can clearly monitor what is concealed behind clothing and even inside human organs for an airport security system.


"For health applications, it can replace magnetic resonance imagery and CT scanners that produce radiation, and are both slow and expensive," he said. Volume tomography has no negative impact since it only works with electricity, and is quick and cheap.


Warsito initiated his research by developing ultrasonic tomography to examine voice waves at a bio-reactor at Shizuoka University in Japan, where he completed his doctorate in 1998.


Ultrasonic tomography is still being used for basic research at the outstanding Japanese university as of today.


While working as a researcher and lecturer at the university, Warsito continued to do research into developing volume tomography until he was elected to deliver a presentation on ultrasonic tomography at a world conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1999.


Afterward, he met professor LS Fan, chairman of the Industrial Research Consortium (IRC) at Ohio State University in the United States.


Two months later, he accepted Fan's offer to move to the U.S. and join some 15 other world-class researchers at the IRC.


In fact, Warsito overcame Fan's problem with reactor engineering and made a prototype of volume tomography in 2003. His invention was patented in the U.S. in 2001.


Small wonder he was elected outstanding postdoctoral researcher by Ohio State University in 2001 and again by the American Institute of Chemists Foundation in 2002.


Warsito's presence as the only Indonesian researcher at the IRC could have contributed significant changes since the volume tomography he designed can save much time and cost if it is applied in industry.


Exxon Mobil, BP Oil, Shell, Conoco Village, Dow Chemical and Mistubishi Chemical are among the global firms that have indirectly started volume tomography applications in their production, including the U.S. Department of Energy, for Morgantown National Laboratory.


Warsito was also elected a key lecturer on the process of tomography at the World Conference in Banff, Canada, in 2003 and in Aizu, Japan, in 2005.


The conference also elected him a plenary lecturer on particle technology for powder processing, nanotechnology, chemical processing and oil processing.


"As of now, I'm still focusing my research on volume tomography for industrial applications and it is still being perfected to achieve high levels of accuracy," he said, adding that the tool was expected to be introduced to the public within four months.


Warsito was born in Karang Anyar, Surakarta, Central Java, in 1967. He spent his childhood through high school graduation in his hometown. Just one month after he started his studies at the school of chemistry at Gajah Mada University, Yogyakarta, in 1986, he went to Shizuoka University on a scholarship from the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT).


After finishing his studies in electronics he continued postgraduate studies at the same university while working as a researcher and lecturer there. He then obtained a scholarship from the university to continue with his doctorate.


Warsito, a father of four sons from his marriage with Rita Chaerunissa, from Tangerang, refused the American citizenship offered to him although, financially, he is unlucky being an Indonesian scientist.


Along with several fellow scientists, he established the Indonesian Technology Scientist Community (MITI) to improve technology and science in the country and build cooperation with foreign institutes to do research.


Besides research, Warsito also teaches at the school of MIPA and Physics at the University of Indonesia, guiding postdoctoral students from Ohio State University, Washington State University and Shizuoka University.


Warsito plans to produce volume tomography in Tangerang while looking for investors and has the exclusive right to sell the tool in the U.S.


A Canadian pharmaceutical company has ordered the tool via its cooperation with Ohio State University.


Few of the many journalists who daily use his Internet kiosk at the Modern Land housing complex, Tangerang, realize that Warsito is a world-class scientist doing research into volume tomography on the second floor.


"I am hopeful my invention will be accepted by the government; otherwise I will not come back because life in the United States is so much more promising," he said.
