Nasrullah Zaini has joined the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Syiah Kuala University since 1999. He graduated with his doctoral degree from the Department of Earth Systems Analysis, Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente, The Netherlands on October 4th, 2018. His Ph.D. research was focusing on the characterization, determination, and estimation of mineralogical and chemical compositions of carbonate rocks using a combination approach of infrared spectroscopy, geochemistry, and laboratory-based hyperspectral imagery. The research led to an alternative framework for chemical quality control of carbonate rocks that can be used by the cement industries. He has two MSc degrees, one in Physics from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia (2003) and other in Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation for Environmental Modelling and Management (GEM), Erasmus Mundus Master’s Programme, joint master degrees of University of Southampton (UK), Lund University (Sweden), University of Warsaw (Poland), and International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (The Netherlands) (2009). In 1997 he graduated with his bachelor’s degree from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. His research interests are rocks and minerals exploration, infrared spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, geochemistry, and the application of remote sensing and geo-information technologies in geology, earth resources, and geo-hazards.
