I'm Adam Pattikawa, a fresh graduate Mining Engineer from Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), with hands-on experience in open-pit mining operations, ore reserve estimation, and slope stability analysis through internships at major Indonesian mining companies.
With a strong foundation in geomechanics and mine planning, I've completed field assignments at PT Freeport Indonesia (Timika), contributing to real production challenges including slope monitoring, blast design optimization, and short-term mine scheduling.
My focus is on combining technical rigor with operational pragmatism — building safer, more efficient mining operations through data-driven analysis and field-tested engineering.
Final year thesis using limit equilibrium methods (Rocscience Slide) to analyze slope stability for an active quarry operation. Identified critical failure surfaces and recommended remediation measures based on rock mass classification (RMR + GSI).
Block model generation and resource estimation using Surpac for hypothetical orebody dataset. Validated assay data, applied geological constraints (lithology + grade thresholds), and produced grade-tonnage curves for feasibility analysis.
Supported open-pit operations at Grasberg mine — assisted in slope monitoring data collection, blast performance reviews, and short-interval mine planning. Worked alongside senior engineers on real production decisions.
Lab work supporting faculty research on geomechanical properties of West Java limestone formations. Contributed to data processing in Python and MATLAB; co-authored 1 national-level symposium paper.
Two-week intensive geological + topographic surveying field camp. Mapping outcrops, sampling lithology, and producing geological cross-sections using standard field methods.
Led internal coordination for 200+ active members across 4 academic batches. Organized 8 technical seminars, 3 industry visits, and the annual mining department welcome event. Established weekly study groups improving freshman retention by 22%.
Co-led the technical paper review process for the largest student-organized mining conference in Indonesia. Coordinated 18 paper presenters from 7 universities, plus 4 industry keynote speakers.
Planned end-to-end logistics for 60-student geological field trip to Karangsambung. Managed transport, accommodations, equipment, and emergency protocols across 5-day intensive program.
GPA 3.71/4.00. Specialization: open-pit mining and rock mechanics. Final year thesis on slope stability analysis using limit equilibrium methods (Rocscience Slide) for an active quarry operation.
Mathematics and Natural Sciences track. Active member of school's geological club; participated in inter-school science olympiad (Earth Science).
