About Me
Hi! I am an assistant professor in Information Technology and the head of IT Research Facility at Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Universitas Gadjah Mada.
My research mainly revolves around cyber-physical systems and applications of machine learning algorithms. In the past few years, I have been exploring blockchain related applications in securing the internet of things and distributed systems in general. Quite recently, I am also exploring the applications of machine learning in the field of climate and energy.
Previously, I obtained my PhD from the University of New South Wales, where I received the Dean’s Award for Outstanding PhD Theses, under the joint supervision of Prof Salil Kanhere, Prof Raja Jurdak, and Dr Volkan Dedeoglu. I received my master’s degree in Computing Science from the University of Groningen in 2017 and bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Universitas Gadjah Mada in 2014.
We host our research as open-source projects on our GitHub organization. Please have a look!
