JAKARTA: An Indonesian student won a prestigious award from the Canadian Institute of Telecommunications Research after being chosen as one of the four best researchers at the Network of Centers of Excellence 2001 program.

Eky Syachrudin, Indonesian Ambassador to Canada, said in New York on Tuesday that the success of Gamantyo Hendrantoro, who hailed from Jombang, East Java, showed that the Indonesian student had strong ability when judged by international standards.

"This shows that Indonesian students can compete with their counterparts from other countries," Eky said.

Gamantyo did his research as part of his quest for a PhD degree from Carleton University in Canada.

The other three students receiving awards were Noel Tin from Queens University, Thimma Babu from Concordia University and Marc Chateauneuf of McGill University. -- Antara
