Electrical Engineering – 2021

Accepted (Master’s) at National Taiwan University

The Electrical Engineering Programme at ITB has been an exceptional platform for developing my critical thinking abilities and strengthening my foundation in electrical engineering principles. The supportive and intellectually stimulating learning environment encouraged me to pursue a specialization in integrated circuit (IC) design, where I had the opportunity to compete at the international level.

Beyond technical training, the programme fostered a strong research culture. With the guidance of dedicated faculty members, I conducted research that was published at the IEEE ISCAS 2025 conference. This achievement enhanced my analytical rigor and prepared me to pursue advanced studies in IC design.

Building upon this foundation, I was admitted to the IC design programme at National Taiwan University, where I aim to continue advancing my research in semiconductor design.

Electrical Engineering – 2015

PhD in Quantum Computing at Institute of Science Tokyo

The Electrical Engineering program at ITB is an excellent program. Its broad yet specialized coursework helped me develop a comprehensive understanding of electrical engineering as a whole and enabled me to identify the specific area I would like to focus on in my future career, which ultimately led me to pursue a PhD in quantum computing. This broad coursework has been highly beneficial to my current research in quantum computing, which demands a wide range of fundamental skills in electrical and electronic engineering.

In addition to practical electrical engineering knowledge, I also developed valuable soft skills in both engineering practice and research. Through this program, I had the opportunity to work with professors and graduate students on several cutting-edge projects. Through these experiences, I developed my problem solving abilities and learned how to conduct research, write journal papers, and participate in international conferences.

I highly recommend this Electrical Engineering program, especially for those who wish to pursue a career in electrical and electronic engineering.

Electrical Engineering – 2016

PhD Candidate – Electrical Engineering – KAIST, South Korea – University Scholarship

Choosing to study Electrical Engineering at ITB broadened my perspective on research at an international level. The program gave me a strong foundation through its rigorous and fundamental curriculum, one that continues to support my work to this day.

Beyond the coursework, the professors in Electrical Engineering at ITB maintain strong global connections with leading researchers around the world. Being in that environment exposed me early on to the standards and culture of world-class research.

All of these experiences opened the door for me to pursue my master’s and Ph.D. at KAIST, an institution known for its strong research in chip design.

I wholeheartedly recommend Electrical Engineering at ITB to anyone who is serious about building a career in research and aspiring to become a world-class scientist. For me, Electrical Engineering at ITB was the gateway.

Electrical Engineering – 2019
Accepted (Master’s) MSc Management of Technology at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) with Justus & Louise van Effen Excellence Scholarship

Studying Electrical Engineering at ITB fundamentally shaped how I approach problems and think critically. The program trained me to break down complex challenges into structured solutions, an ability that later proved valuable in my work in innovation at a Fortune 500 company and in my pursuit of an MSc in Management of Technology at TU Delft, supported by a full merit-based scholarship.

During my time at ITB, I was exposed early to research that connected engineering with real-world challenges. Under the guidance of Microelectronics and Organic Semiconductor professors, I worked on developing an organic battery from red seaweed as a renewable energy storage material that also could support a sustainable circular economy for Indonesia’s coastal communities. The project resulted in a research paper that I co-authored at an international materials conference.

This experience shaped my perspective that engineering should not only advance technology but also respond to local contexts and societal needs.

I later applied this mindset in an industry setting at the Bio-Throughput division of L’Oréal’s Global R&D Centre in Paris, France, where I worked on developing a beauty device that integrates hormonal diagnostics to predict and prevent skin issues. The project drew on biosensor and instrumentation insights from Lab-on-Chip Laboratory, an area I had previously explored during my undergraduate thesis with my professors at ITB.

Working in both academic and industrial research environments strengthened my ability to design innovation that is technically rigorous, human-centered, and scalable. It also sparked my interest in understanding how technological innovation can be effectively managed and implemented across different contexts.

This journey eventually led me to pursue the MSc in Management of Technology at TU Delft, supported by the Justus & Louise van Effen Scholarship, a prestigious merit-based award for students with strong academic excellence and a drive to advance technology. The program uniquely bridges engineering and management, two perspectives that are essential for translating research into impactful solutions.

Looking back, Electrical Engineering at ITB provided more than technical expertise; it cultivated the mindset to use technology to solve meaningful problems and create value for society. For students interested in transforming engineering ideas into real-world innovations, I highly recommend Electrical Engineering ITB due to its environment that combines strong technical foundations with relevance to industry and society.
