Masyhur Irsyam, a member of the AIPI Engineering Sciences Commission, received the 2025 Sutami Award from the Ministry of Public Works on 1 December, in recognition of his outstanding contributions as an expert in seismic geotechnical engineering in the field of soft ground applications. The 2025 Sutami Award is an event to recognise individuals involved in the development of Indonesia’s infrastructure, forming part of the Ministry of Public Works’ 80th Anniversary celebrations. Masyhur Irsyam, a member of AIPI since 2015, is a Professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering specialising in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering/Earthquake-Resistant Infrastructure. A PhD graduate of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, he is a Senior Advisor at the National Earthquake Research Centre (PuSGeN). Led by Masyhur Irsyan, in November 2025 PuSGeN launched the 2024 Map of Earthquake Sources and Hazards in Indonesia – an update of the 2017 Earthquake Map – which is linked to infrastructure resilience and strategies for adapting to earthquake risks. Masyhur Irsyam was heavily involved in developing SNI Codes & Standards relating to the resilience of building infrastructure, including SNI 1726-2002, SNI 1726-2012, and SNI 1726-2019; for bridges, SNI 2833-2016; the Geotechnical Engineering Design Code SNI 8460-2017; the Selection and Modification of Ground Motions for Bridges SNI 8899-2020; and the Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings Code SNI 9274-202X. In addition, Masyhur Irsyam is actively involved in various ISSMGE Technical Committees, including TC39 – Geotechnical Engineering for Coastal Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation; TC203 – Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Associated Problems; and TC305 – Geotechnical Infrastructure for Megacities and New Capitals of the ISSMGE (International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering).
