In my previous career, I was a lecturer and an acting interim Head of Information Systems at Sampoerna University (SU), Indonesia. I was a Global lecturer for Systems and Industrial Engineering (SIE) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) study programs at the University of Arizona (UA), United States, as part of a collaboration between SU and the University of Arizona. I was also a former lab coordinator in the IoT Lab and the Cyber-Physical Systems Research Group (CPS) at SU.

I received a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Electronics (CSE) from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Indonesia, and an M.Eng. degree in Systems and Control Engineering (SCE) from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech, now the Institute of Science Tokyo), Japan, in 2015 and 2018, respectively. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at Tampere University (TAU), Finland, in Automation Technology and Mechanical Engineering (ATME) 2022 and am a member of the Intelligent Networked Systems Group (IINES).

I am a member of IEEE RAS and CSS, IFAC Affiliated, and the Finnish Society of Automation. I am also active in volunteering as a reviewer for IEEE TIM, IEEE T-ASE, Multiscale and Multidisciplinary Modeling Experiments and Design, Kybernetics, IEEE Access, Biomimetics and Bioinspirations, Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, Frontier in Artificial Intelligence, and Journal of Engineering and Applied Science. Also in some international conferences such as IEEE CASE (2024-2026), 2026 IEEE ICCTIX, 2025 IEEE/SICE SII, 2023 IFAC World Congress, 2021 ICDSOS, 2020 SICE Annual Conf, 2022 Seminar Nasional Official Statistics, and IEEE IROS (2018).

Research interests include:

• Networked control of multi-robot systems: coverage control, persistent monitoring, formation control
• Decision-making & optimization
• Dynamical systems, source localization, and machine learning
