WELCOME FROM BOARD OF EXECUTIVES

Dear All Participants,

Welcome to the International Workshop on Materials and Advanced Characterization (IMAC)

2022. This IMAC 2022 becomes one of the most prominent workshops the materials and advanced
characterization for achieving Sustainable Development Goals target. The IMAC 2022 will provide the
distinguished experts from Indonesia and international, the researchers from university and institution,
practitioners from industry, and other stakeholders that related to advanced characterization materials.

The IMAC 2022 will be organized by the National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) in
collaboration with the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), Asia-Oceania Neutron Scattering
Association (AONSA), Indonesia Neutron Scattering Society (INSS), International Union of Material
Research Societies (IUMRS) and Material Research Society Indonesia (MRS-INA).

The main interest of IMAC 2022 is focused on the power of neutron and X-Ray for advanced
material characterization. This will cover general overview of neutron scattering and X-Ray diffraction,
advanced material characterization method using neutron scattering and x-ray diffraction, density
functional theory, magnetic quasicrystal, to the comprehensive introduction from some prestigious
neutron reactor and spallation neutron facility in the world. Such as CSNS in China, J-PARC in Japan,
ANSTO in Australia, KAERI in South Korea, and also TNSS in Taiwan. This workshop will provide eight
distinguished experts from researchers, practitioners, to industry both nationally and globally across six
countries. It is expected that IMAC 2022 can deliver the output and outcome that give a beneficial for
all parties. Therefore, the target of sustainable development goals through materials technology can be
achieved.

We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the IMAC 2022 and have a pleasant learning experience.

A. Introduction

NBRI is Indonesia's independent institute for electrochemical energy storage science and technology,
supporting research, training, and education. NBRI aims to contribute to the overall research capacity
and training environment in Indonesia in Battery Research. Based on a common view regarding the
Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, NBRI is in line with the Indonesian
government to support the implementation of the transition to Renewable Energy (RE) and Electric
Vehicles (EV).

The National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) is a platform that brings together scientists,
academicians, industry partners, the government, and all stakeholders that focus on battery technology
and renewable energy. Since January 2020, NBRI has performed more than 260 activities national and
internationally covering 37 countries. Those activities include Focus Group Discussion, Lectures,
Schools, Workshops, Webinars and also annual International Workshop.

B. Background

Materials engineering becomes one of the disciplines that matters for technology development.
Because through robust understanding on materials and its properties, it is able to explore more
possibility on material invention that beneficial for human life. Such understanding can be achieved
through characterization. It will give a fundamental tenet at its very center: the relationship between the
structure of material and its properties. From the industry perspective, particularly related to metals and
mineral, knowledge on material and characterization is demanded.

The high demand of material industry and research need qualified human resources. Therefore, the
NBRI in collaboration with QMUL, AONSA, INSS, IUMRS, and MRS-INA, will organize The International
Workshop on Materials and Advanced Characterization (IMAC) 2022 for filling the gap. This year IMAC
provides a theme “The Power of Neutron and X-Ray for Advanced Material Characterization.” This
two-day workshop will cover topics on general overview of neutron scattering and x-ray diffraction and
its advanced characterization, density functional theory, magnetic quasicrystal and also brief
introduction about spallation neutron and neutron reactor facility across six countries. We hope to
provide an understanding for participants to get involved in advanced characterization and materials to
make a better future through material technology.

C. Subject Lectures and Outputs
