About

Welcome to my official website!

I'm Arief Nugraha Pontoh, a passionate lecturer and geotechnical engineer with a strong background in civil engineering. Currently, I’m a faculty member at the Institut Teknologi Kalimantan, where I focus on teaching, research, and mentoring students in the field of geotechnics.

With a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Universitas Tadulako and a Master of Engineering in Geotechnical Engineering from Universitas Gadjah Mada, I’ve dedicated my career to both the academic and professional aspects of civil engineering. In 2023, I also earned my Professional Engineer (Ir.) from Universitas Katolik Indonesia Atma Jaya.

Throughout my journey, I have actively contributed to several research projects, published papers in national and international journals, and collaborated with various institutions. I am also deeply involved in developing civil engineering curricula and improving teaching methodologies.

As a member of the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII) and the Indonesian Society for Geotechnical Engineering (HATTI), where I serve as a board member for HATTI Komisariat Daerah Kalimantan Timur, I constantly seek to expand my expertise and network within the engineering community. Besides my academic duties, I regularly participate in training and certification activities organized by Balai Jasa Konstruksi Wilayah V Banjarmasin and Dinas PUPR & PERA of East Kalimantan.

Beyond engineering, I enjoy sharing my thoughts on life experiences and spirituality, offering a more holistic perspective on personal and professional growth. I created this website to not only showcase my work but to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about engineering, education, and life.

Feel free to explore my website, dive into my publications, and connect with me for potential collaborations or discussions.

Thank you for visiting!
