Academics and Researchers Alumni of ITB Engineering Physics

Riyan Achmad Budiman, Ph.D.
Researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan
Dr. Riyan Achmad Budiman is a 2006 alumnus of ITB Engineering Physics who is currently researching Solid Oxide Fuel Cells at AIST Japan. Dr. Budiman received his Master of Environmental Studies and PhD from the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Tohoku University, Japan in 2012 and 2015, respectively. During his studies, he developed nickel-based electrodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). He has published many papers from his studies and was awarded the Tohoku President Award for Excellent Academic and Research Record in 2016.
During his studies at ITB, he actively participated in student activities which includes taking the role of Head of Academic Division at the Engineering Physics Student Union (Himpunan Mahasiswa Fisika Teknik or HMFT) and also an active member of the Sundanese Student Society. He finished his final project in the Advance Material Processing Laboratory and graduated in April of 2010. His full profile can be seen in this link.
Widodo Dwi Putro, ST., MSc.

Researcher di 4JET microtech GmbH, Jerman

Widodo Dwi Putro is a 2006 Engineering Physics alumnus who works in the R&D department of 4JET Microtech GmbH, which is a laser technology company in Germany. His final project was to study skin surface imaging systems under the Optics and Medical Instrumentation Laboratories in 2010. This introduced him to the wonders of optical engineering and motivated him to enroll in the master’s program of Ruhr Universität Bochum, Germany.
Before heading to Germany, he worked as a Business Process Analyst for Balance Scorecard System in Kompas Gramedia Group. In 2011, he founded Prakerta Indonesia, a start-up company which provides customizable packaging design and production. After completing his master’s degree, he started to work in 4JET Microtech GmbH where his scope of research includes application of lasers for industrial purposes with focus on patterning and surface functionalization, as well as developing software for integrated laser systems.
