Professor
Professor Georgina Maria Tinungki is a distinguished academic serving as a Full Professor at Hasanuddin University's Department of Statistics within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. She simultaneously holds an Associate Professor position at Makassar Merchant Marine Polytechnic in the Sea and Port Transportation Management department and serves as Head of Department at Hasanuddin University since September 2019. With a career spanning over three decades since her initial lecturer position at Christian University of Indonesia Paulus (1989-1991), Professor Tinungki has established herself as a leading figure in statistics and mathematics education in Indonesia. PhD in Educational Mathematics and Statistics from Indonesia University of Education (2016) PhD in Coastal and Marine Resources from IPB University (2005) MSc in Statistics from IPB University (2000) Dra in Mathematics (equivalent to Master's degree) Professor Tinungki's research spans multiple interconnected domains with particular emphasis on mathematics and statistics education, applied statistics, mathematical modeling, and coastal and marine resource management. Her recent work demonstrates a strong focus on financial applications, particularly examining dividend policy during the COVID-19 pandemic using sophisticated panel data approaches. She has made significant contributions to educational methodology through her research on Team-Assisted Individualization (TAI) cooperative learning models that enhance mathematical problem-solving, communication, and self-proficiency among students. Her methodological expertise includes advanced statistical techniques such as copula methods for risk assessment, geographically weighted regression, and robust statistical approaches for handling outliers and non-normal data. Postgraduate scholarship from Directorate General of Higher Education for 2nd PhD degree study (2011) Postgraduate scholarship from Directorate General of Higher Education for PhD degree study (2001) Postgraduate scholarship from Directorate General of Higher Education for Master degree study (1997) With 77 publications and 585 citations, Professor Tinungki maintains an active research program with recent publications spanning finance, education, and statistical methodology. Her work on dividend policy during the pandemic demonstrates rigorous application of both static and dynamic panel data models. In education research, she continues to refine cooperative learning approaches with particular attention to developing students' self-proficiency alongside technical skills. Her laboratory work focuses on applying statistical methods to real-world problems in finance, education, and resource management, often collaborating with colleagues across multiple institutions. Professor Tinungki leads Georgina Maria Tinungki's Lab, which focuses on interdisciplinary research bridging statistics, education, and practical applications. The lab environment emphasizes methodological rigor while addressing real-world challenges in financial modeling, educational assessment, and resource management. Current projects include analyzing market reactions to corporate policies during crises, developing innovative statistical teaching methods, and applying spatial statistics to socioeconomic issues in Indonesia.
