Why this life matters
His work connects phenomenological models with observations while making the assumptions and unresolved parameters of a fit open to scrutiny.
Timeline
Key moments
First degree
Universitas Indonesia.
Doctorate
Mainz.
University service
Faculty professorial-board chair.
Training and research abroad
Mart completed his Universitas Indonesia degree in 1988 and Mainz doctorate in 1996.
The DAAD profile describes almost six years in Mainz as formative to his work as a scientist.
The academy records research periods at George Washington, Okayama and Mainz in 1997โ2000.
These settings explain an international research network rather than a single laboratoryโs isolated achievement.
Testing a proposed resonance
His 1999 preprint with C. Bennhold examined a structure in kaon-photoproduction data. It compared candidate resonance fits and explicitly noted a sign ambiguity when extracting a product of couplings.
The paper proposes further observations; the biography does not turn that historical model interpretation into an unconditional modern confirmation. The associated exercise shows why knowing a product need not determine its factors.

Software and a broader research programme
The DAAD account also identifies his Kaon-MAID programme.
His research areas include photo- and electroproduction, form factors, hypernuclei and neutron stars.
A reusable calculation can make assumptions easier for other researchers to inspect. It is still a model, and its range of use should not be confused with proof that every inferred parameter is uniquely determined.
University service
He joined Universitas Indonesiaโs teaching staff in 1990. His page records chairing the faculty professorial board in 2015โ2020 and membership of the university professorial board in 2015โ2025.
These dated responsibilities extend the career beyond a well-known paper. The inspected institutional profiles differ on the precise professorship year; no exact year is silently chosen from that disagreement.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions about Terry Mart
- Does a successful fit establish every parameter separately?
- No. The stated observables and model can leave different parameter combinations indistinguishable.
- Why is the birth date only a year?
- The retained institutional day-of-month records disagree; the common year is preserved without guessing a resolution.
