His background
I was born and raised in Malang city, East Java, Indonesia. I was Graduated from Bachelor of Applied Electronics Engineering from State Polytechnic of Malang in 2020 with the best graduated student awards. This Bachelor degree gave me various basic theoretical and practical skills in Electronics. For instance, Microcontroller Programming, Sensors, actuator and Transducer, Programming Algorithm, System Control, and PLC programming. Continuing my education further in Europe with scholarship was a big dream for me since I was in high school, a big opportunity that will change my life forever come one year after graduated from my Bachelor degree which was Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree scholarship from European Union Comission. Thus, I continue my education further with pursuing a Joint International Master in Smart System Integration with Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree scholarship, this master gave me opportunity to study and live in three different Universities and Countries which are Heriot Watt University in Scotland, University of Southeastern Norway in Norway, and Budapest Uniersity of Technology and Economics in Hungary. I was graduated with distinction from this Master in August 2022 this master gave me specialized knowledge in MEMS design, Microfabrication technology, Sensor, Actuator and IoT. Then afterwards I continue to pursue my PhD in Universite Gustave Eiffel under Clear-Doc cofund in the field of IoT and Machine Learning with topic “Surveillance of Pavement Structural Health using RFID Traffic/load sensor data”.
Key facts
Smart City will be the future with IoT and Machine Learning is the foundation to build smart City. With having a good IoT and Machine Learning Skills you will conquer the future. With good combination of hardware and software knowledge we will be able to create smart devices that will be useful for the society in the future.
Summary of his thesis
My thesis title is Monitoring the structural health of pavements using RFID traffic/load sensor data. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the development of a battery-free RFID (Radio-frequency Identification) traffic/load sensor, to be buried in the road surface (asphalt), capable of supporting heavy loads. This sensor provides information on the traffic load (especially trucks, which are the main source of road deterioration) using accelerometers or geophones sensitive to vertical deformations of the pavement. Temperature variations should also be measured as temperature affects the amplitude of structural vibrations. The sensor data is then transmitted wirelessly via low-power RFID technology to a mobile reader on the road or fixed at the roadside. This information is sent back without a battery by collecting the energy from the load's oscillations through a small-volume piezoelectric to extend the life of the sensor. This wireless transmission of information contrasts with conventional methods where cables buried in the roadway are susceptible to damage during construction.
What's next?
After finishing PhD with my technological skill and knowledge I commit to contribute as much as I can for the society especially for Indonesia, France, Europe, and the World at large. Because my motto in life is being the best is not important but being useful for others is the most important thing. I hope I can create a future technology that will make human life easier and help solving the problem in the society.
