Biography
Muhamad Risqi U. Saputra (Risqi) is Associate Professor, Data Science, at Monash University, Indonesia. Previously, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the cyber-physical systems group, Department of Computer Science, at University of Oxford, United Kingdom (UK). He obtained his DPhil (PhD) in the same department at the University of Oxford. Prior to Oxford, he gained his master’s (MEng) and bachelor degrees at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia.
In the professional space, he’s had experience working as a co-founder of an educational-technology startup company, lexipalindonesia.com, and as a senior data scientist in Jakarta Smart City. He’s received several awards from software development competitions, either nationally or internationally, including Indonesia ICT Awards (INAICTA), International ICT Innovative Services Contest (InnoServe) in Taiwan, and Asia Pacific ICT Alliance Awards (APICTA) in Brunei Darussalam.
Research interests
Risqi's main research interest revolves around the intersection between machine (deep) learning, computer vision, and cyber-physical systems, applied to a wide range of problems including navigation, positioning, mapping, object detection, or semantic segmentation, among others. Nevertheless, he is also keen to work in diverse interdisciplinary areas including, but not limited to, health science, assistive technology, smart cities, environmental monitoring, disaster prevention and management, intersecting with his main research interest.
