Alumni Stories
Immanuel Deo Hasian Silalahi
Choosing Electric Power Engineering (EP) at ITB is like getting the blueprint for how the modern world stays powered. It’s the perfect intersection: a unique blend of high-intensity field work and cutting-edge lab research. You’ll find yourself diving into Thermodynamics with Mechanical engineers one day, then switching to coding for smart systems the next.
My journey took me from a thesis on Geothermal energy in remote NTT to a Master’s at Columbia University. The foundation built at ITB was the key. We don’t just sit in class; we have incredible facilities like the Gedung Kerja Sama PLN for high-voltage thrills and the Energy Conversion Lab for power electronics. Witnessing actual lightning simulations and thousands of Volts dancing right in front of your eyes turns “boring” theories into a high-definition reality.
This technical “DNA” allowed me to navigate a career spanning from field engineering at Schlumberger to developing financial models for Virtual Power Plants in New York. Today, I’m back at a state-owned company, accelerating Indonesia’s low-carbon portfolio, such as hydrogen.
Whether you’re learning from global icons like Prof. Suwarno or visiting sites like geothermal ones, EP gives you the “free will” to choose your own path. If you want a high-impact, internationally recognized career that keeps the world moving, this is your home. Cus, masuk sini!
