TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I, the undersigned, hereby declare that I have known Mr. Jaka Kelana for about nine years. He was my student at English Department, Faculty of Education, Lingua University of Malang, Indonesia. He performed very well not only in his academic achievements but also in his organizational activities. He completed his undergraduate study in 2004 with GPA 3,59 (cum laude in scale 1-4) and IELTS Band 7. Mr. Jaka has been working as an English teacher at the local government of East Java Province for three years. With his relatively low income as a civil servant, I believe funding his own postgraduate degree is not a feasible option. Tuition fees and living cost in Australia are too high and unaffordable for an Indonesian civil servant like him. Therefore, he really needs a fullscholarship to pursue M.A in Linguistics at Monash University. Currently, he has obtained an Unconditional Letter of Offer from the Department of Linguistics, Monash University of Melbourne. In relation to his research competence, he has taken courses in research methodology with excellent results. He has also shown his high level of academic and research competences when doing a research on discourse analysis analysing speeches of Australian prime minister candidates and eventually, obtained a maximal score A in the thesis examination. As his research supervisor, I know that he is smart, hard-working, cooperative, and can easily adjust himself to a new academic environment. Therefore, I am sure that he will be capable to continue his study and conduct a research at a master degree program in an Australian university. I believe that after getting master degree from Australia, he will be more competent to develop human resources in Indonesia, especially in the field of English education and linguistics. He will potentially disseminate his new educational experiences and cross-cultural understanding to improve professional and academic atmospheres in his institutions and surrounding societies. I, therefore, do not hesitate to recommend him as a prospective candidate for pursuing a master degree program in Australia.

Pattimura (Alamat) Fakultas Teknik Universitas Indonesia Telephone: 081126338203 Email: [email protected] 19th November, 2015 To Whom it May Concern, Ammar Kodi used to be my student in the program of Engineering. I supervised him during his thesis. I saw him as a highly motivated student. He showed some good capabilities in dconducting research. He understood some research methods and could choose the appropriate research method for his thesis. Besides, he was an active student. He joined some organization in campus and played significant roles in there. He was one of the best students in my class showing some great achievements in every course I taught. Heriyanto’s thesis was about S................................................... Heriyanto really wants to continue his study to Master’s degree. Considering all his good achievements in academics during his bachelor dengere, I would highly encourage him to do so I believe that if he is awarded the scholarship, he will be able to give the most use of it. Yours faithfully,

Dr. Ir. Manyar Hasan, M.Si Lecturer (……. )

Letter of Recommendation Dear Sir/ Madam, I know Mr. Joko Pamungkas since 2005 when he was an S1 student (in the Indonesian system almost equivalent to B.Sc.) at the Jenderal Soedirman University (UNSOED) in Purwokerto, Indonesia. At that time he joined our international research team investigating the effects of human activities on the ecology of the Segara Anakan Lagoon in south central Java, Indonesia. This project forms cluster 2 of the Indonesian – German research and education programme SPICE (Science for the Protection of Indonesian Coastal Marine Ecosystems) and is being coordinated by Dr. Edy Yuwono (UNSOED) on the Indonesian side and by me on the German side. Between February 2005 and January 2007, Mr. Joko Pamungkas participated in a number of research and education activities within the frame of our bilateral project. He participated in sampling campaigns in the Segara Anakan Lagoon and laboratory work at the Biology Faculty of UNSOED. He organized field trips and operated and maintained scientific gear to obtain water, sediment and benthos samples. His ability to work self-dependent and to take responsibility contributed largely to a smooth continuation of field work even inbetween joint German-Indonesian sampling campaigns. In the field he helped in the collection, sieving and sorting of macrobenthos samples and in the laboratory he contributed to the taxonomic identification of macrobenthic organisms. Mr. Joko Pamungkas performed his S1 study also within the frame of the SPICE project. His thesis entitled “Macrobenthos community in the Segara Anakan mangrove area: a comparison study of their diversity and abundance from offshore to inside mangrove” contributed to the overall research goals of SPICE. He presented preliminary results of his thesis in a very good talk during an international SPICE workshop held at UNSOED in Purwokerto in January 2006. Because of the high

quality of his thesis work his results made a significant contribution to an international publication in the journal Regional Environmental Change. Moreover, he successfully participated in an “International course on benthic ecology: benthic organisms in mangrove forests and tidal flats” held by the ZMT scientist Dr. Inga Nordhaus in Purwokerto in August 2005. Besides his stamina in conducting sampling campaigns consequently and precisely over months he displayed keen perception in learning and applying state of the art methodology. He also demonstrated his intellectual ability during his S1 thesis study and when giving the talk during our international workshop. Since then he had the aim to pursue his studies in the International Studies on Aquatic Tropical Ecology (ISATEC) in Bremen. He knew in detail about the requirements for application and therefore chose a job in which he could gain professional experience in his field of work. Over the years he stayed in touch and discussed aspects of his research on the benthos ecology of Indonesian coastal areas with us thereby gaining experience and improving his professional expertise. Finally, he was accepted for the ISATEC Master course and studied in Bremen betwenn 2011 and 2013. During that time he attended my course on “Biogeochemical Cycling of Elements in the Aquatic Environment” and we had discussions from time to time. He conducted his M.Sc. Thesis project again in the SPICE Cluster coordinated by me and did a very good job. He is a highly motivated student and upright person and I am also impressed by his persistency in trying to pursue his studies. Therefore, I think, he is extremely well prepared for a doctorate.

Selanjutnya, berikut ini adalah konsep surat rekomendasi yang saya buat sendiri dan disetujui oleh Kepala Pusat Penelitian Laut Dalam – LIPI untuk melamar beasiswa yang sama.

LETTER OF REFERENCE To whom it may concern, I, as the director of the Research Center for Deep Sea, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), fully support Mr. Joko Pamungkas’ application for a doctoral study at the University of Auckland (Faculty of Science, Institute of Marine Science), as the degree (Ph.D) is most important for his further career as an Indonesian scientist. I have personally known Mr. Pamungkas since 2008, and in the last five years he has demostrated his great capabilities as a young researcher. Through the DAAD scholarship, he in 2013 completed a Master of Science (M. Sc.) degree in the International Studies in Aquatic Tropical Ecology (ISATEC) program at the University of Bremen, Germany, with good academic results. During his master study in Germany, Mr. Pamungkas also won a CSIRO fellowship to attend the 11th International Polychaete Conference in Sydney. His poster entitled ‘Utilization of Wawo Worms (Annelida, Polychaeta) in Ambon Island, Indonesia’ was awarded as ‘The Best Student Poster with Special Commendation’ at the conference. In the same month and place, he also participated in two international workshops, i.e. ‘Special Workshop on Microscope Photography & Preparation of Material for SEM’ and ‘Invasive Polychaete Workshop’, funded by Science for the Protection of Indonesian Coastal Marine Ecosystems (SPICE), i.e. a bilateral marine research project between Indonesia and Germany. Since 2009, Mr. Pamungkas is used to collaborating with international research institutions such as the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT),

Australia, and the Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), Germany. Through these collaborations, he has been producing several international publications (please see his CV for more detailed information), and successfully organized an international workshop on ‘Marine Taxonomic Study and Reference Collection Management’ in Ambon, June 12th, 2014, with Dr. Christopher J. Glasby (MAGNT) as the keynote speaker. Mr. Pamungkas is, moreover, active in writing his opinions in local newspapers, and published several attractive videos on YouTube in order to disseminate his work (please visithttp://www.youtube.com/user/ppld2014). His original video on ‘Laor – Delicious Marine Worms from Ambon Island, Indonesia’ reflects his interest, and has been used as a source of teaching material at some universities in the world. Mr. Pamungkas is the only polychaete researcher in our institution, and is among a very few scientists in our country who dedicate themselves to study Indonesian marine worms. Therefore, once he is trained, he could be a role model in this field of research. Considering his previous scholastic achievements (please see his CV for more detailed information), hard-working attitude and persistence, I do believe that Mr. Pamungkas will succeed in doing his doctoral study at the University of Auckland, and become a great asset to our marine research institute. Herewith, I also guarantee that Mr. Joko Pamungkas will return to his home country and be re-employed by our institution as soon as he completes his postgraduate study in New Zealand. Sincerely yours, Dr. Augy Syahailatua
