Wayan Suparta (born in Klungkung, Bali, Indonesia) is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Space Science (ANGKASA), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (2012 - present). He was appointed as a senior lecturer (July 2008 - March 2012) and Post Doctoral Fellow in 2007-2008 at the same Institute and university. He obtained his PhD in March 2008 in the field of Electronics Communication and remote sensing application (GPS Meteorology) from the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Systems Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UKM. He started his career as a teacher of Physics, Electronics and Computer in SMUK Cor Jesu Malang (1994-1997), Teacher of Physics and Electronics in SMUK Santo Aloysius Bandung (1997-2000), and at the same time he was a part time lecturer at many universities in Bandung by lecturing subjects: Instrumentation physics, Basic Electronics and Web design. After completing his Master's Degree in 2000 at the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) in the field of semiconductor electronics (physics), he then appointed as a Lecturer of Engineering Electronic (2000-2004) at the Legenda College Group, Malaysia that has collaborated with University Technology of Malaysia (UTM). He obtained his degree in Physics Instrumentation (1994) and Diploma (1991) from the University of Sanata Dharma, Yogyakarta. His employment experiences were including the lecturing on the subject of physics and computers, instrumentation and microelectronics. Besides more than 15 years experience in lecturing, he also conducted research with more than 12 years experience. His current research interest includes advanced geophysics, satellite remote sensing application, natural disasters, solar terrestrial physics, modeling of satellite disturbances for Near Equatorial Orbit (NEqO) inclination, soft computing (neural network) and near field communication (NFC). His previous research focused on the Polar Sciences that investigated the tropospheric-ionospheric propagation and application of GPS sensing technique for solar-terrestrial studies through the vantage point on Earth, i.e. Polar (Antarctic-Arctic) and Equatorial regions. He also interests to monitor lightning activity, landslide deformation and crops production using GPS. Started in 2003 and in 2010, he was found a new method to correlate the upper and lower levels of the atmosphere based on GPS sensing technique. This method was awarded with a bronze medal by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2011. In January 2011, he has also published a book with title "Remote sensing of solar Influence on Antarctic terrestrial climate from a GPS Perspective" by Nova Science Publishers, New York, USA, “GPS Meteorology: Concept & Application” by LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing (April 24, 2012), Germany and “ANGKASA Graduate Studies Guide Book” published by the Institute of Space Science (ANGKASA), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Second Edition, June 16, 2013). In the national and international level, he is a member of the National Antarctic Program in Malaysian Antarctic Research Programme (MARP), International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology (IACSIT), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and senior members of Asia-Pacific Chemical, Biological & Environmental Engineering Society (APCBEES). He also has won several prizes publications held by National Space Agency Malaysia in the category of Professional Research Paper in the field of Space Application: (1) Presentation in Conference (2006) with title: “A new method for correlating solar activity and terrestrial climate using GPS sensing at Antarctica”, (2) The first winner for Publication in magazine/journal/e-journal (2008) with title: “Observations of Antarctic precipitable water vapor and its response to the solar activity based on GPS sensing”, (3) The third winner for Publication in magazine/journal/e-journal (2010) with title: “Solar forcing on Antarctic terrestrial climate", (4) Professional Research Paper in the field of Space Application (Presentation in Conference) entitled: “Proposed physical mechanism for upper-lower atmospheric coupling from GPS perspective”, Agensi Angkasa Negara (ANGKASA), MOSTI, 2012, (5) best paper award for cluster: Pure Science and Medicine with title "A proposed physical mechanism for upper –lower atmospheric coupling using Global Positioning System via Polar regions" in the Seminar Hasil Penyelidikan Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi 2012 (SHP-KPT 2012), 8-9 November 2012, Malaysia, and (6) Bronze medal (2012), GPS-based Physical Mechanism Proposed for Upper-Lower Atmospheric Coupling Studies, Ekspo Pemacuan Kegemilangan Warisan Ilmu UKM. Before that, he had won the bronze medal for research "Polar-Equatorial Ionospheric and Magnetic Storms Characterization for the Advancement of Space Weather Prediction (Geospace Characterization)", IPTA R&D EXPO 2005, PWTC, Kuala Lumpur, hosted by MOSTI Malaysia. He has publication more than 50 papers indexed by SCOPUS and ISI Web of Science, and two chapters in book. His big ideas and the greatest struggle is how the people can change their traditional mindset to a scientific mindset to be vigilant in carrying out its activities with the use of early warning weather information as part of their daily menu.
