Dwi Joko Suroso

Dwi Joko Suroso was born in Sleman in 1988. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Engineering Physics from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in 2010. He then pursued a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in Bangkok, Thailand, as an AUN-SEED Net/JICA scholar. His Master’s research focused on target/object finding algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).

After completing his Master’s degree in 2012, he worked as a temporary lecturer at Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga in Yogyakarta from 2013 to 2014. Concurrently, he served as a teaching assistant at EP UGM, specializing in modern control, data communication, and industrial instrumentation, and led laboratory practice sessions.

In April 2014, he joined the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TokyoTech) as a research student under a MEXT scholarship. In 2015, he enrolled in the Ph.D. program at TokyoTech, also supported by MEXT. His doctoral research focuses on channel modeling for next-generation wireless communication systems (5G), particularly involving Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. He is conducting simulations to validate MIMO channel performance using a single measurement data shot through a method called “Channel Synthesis.” His interests also include low-cost sensor system development, building lighting, building automation, and IoT-based communication data.

He has received several accolades, including the High Quality Paper Award from IEEE Singapore in 2011, and best presentation awards, with invitations to present his work at NTU Singapore in 2015 and HKUST Hong Kong in 2016. Currently, he is a full lecturer at EP UGM and has been a researcher at INSGREEB since May 2018, having been a junior researcher since INSGREEB’s establishment in 2012.
