Prof. Deris Setiawan, M.T., Ph.D., IPU., ASEAN Eng., CPENT., LPT Master., CEH., CHFI. has officially been awarded Honorary Member status by the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organizations (AFEO).

In addition to his professional achievements, Prof. Deris also plays a vital role in developing digital talent at Sriwijaya University.
