Short Biography

Mr. Rachmad received B.Sc. on Electrical Engineering (2007-2012) and M.Sc. on Electronics Engineering (2013-2015), both from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Indonesia. He was an internee at CV. Versatile Silicon Technologies for 2 months and working at PT. Fusi Global Teknologi for almost 2 years. He was also with ITB as a teaching assistant at Electrical Engineering Department, School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics ITB in 2012-2017 and as a research assistant at Microelectronics Center ITB (2014-2017). Recently, he worked as an FPGA Engineer at TriLite Technologies GmbH (2022-2023). Currently, he is a research assistant and Ph.D. student at Computer Architecture and Robust Energy-Efficient Technologies (CARE-Tech.), Embedded Computing Systems, Institute of Computer Engineering, Technische Universität Wien, under supervision of Prof. Dr. Muhammad Shafique. He is also currently working as a research associate at the New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi, UAE. His research interests mainly include computer architecture & systems, integrated circuits & VLSI design, brain-inspired & neuromorphic computing, robust & energy-efficient computing, and electronic design automation.
