Engineering Physics Program

Alumni of ITB Engineering Physics and Instrumentation and Control

Ikatan Alumni Teknik Fisika ITB

Ikatan Alumni Teknik Fisika ITB (IATF, Association of ITB Engineering Physics Alumni) is an organization that facilitates the bond between ITB Engineering Physics Alumni. The association is currently chaired by Nugroho Wibisono, S.T., M.T., an alumnus of the 1998 batch of ITB Engineering Physics. To date, IATF ITB have hosted many events to strengthen the family-like bond between alumni as well as conducting charitable events that helps the ITB Engineering Physics program. Those events include the TF1000 scholarship program, Engineering Physics Batch scholarships, participation in the ITB Ultra Marathon event, and giving donations towards facilities that support the academic proceedings in the ITB Engineering Physics program.

Ir. Kusmayanto Kadiman, Ph.D.

Indonesian Minister of Research and Technology 2004-2009, Rector of ITB 2001-2004

Dr. Kusmayanto Kadiman is the Indonesian Minister of Research and Technology of the Indonesia Bersatu Cabinet in the years 2004-2009. Before appointed as minister, he was entrusted to be ITB’s Rector within the 2001-2004 period. He was awarded his bachelor’s degree in 1977 from ITB Engineering Physics and his PhD in Systems Engineering from the Australian National University (ANU) in 1988.
Dr. Kadiman is also an active lecturer at the Engineering Physics program before he went on to be Rector of ITB. He is known as an egalitarian figure and is very close with students. As minister, he emphasized the concept of ABG triple helix (academia, business, and government) as a framework to combat poverty in society. This formulation ensures the synergy of the three aspects of society to support the commercialization of science and technology. His full profile can be seen in this link
