Alumni Stories
Nicholas Teffandi
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.
