Andreas is a graduate in naval architecture and marine intelligent robotics, now pursuing a PhD in engineering cybernetics. With a focus on reinforcement learning, multidisciplinary design optimization, and marine control systems, Andreas is particularly invested in simulation-based optimization and system stress testing. His earlier experience involved ship hull modeling and hydrodynamics analysis and included hands-on work in the development of a custom-built remotely operated vehicle (ROV) at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS). Later, his research expanded to discrete ballast configuration estimation to improve deployment processes for underwater vehicles. Driven by a passion for continuous learning, he has since broadened his expertise to complex system simulations, intelligent control, and optimization.Outside of academia, Andreas enjoys balancing technical pursuits with creative hobbies, including cooking, baking, portrait photography, and watching stand-up comedy. On weekends, he can often be found either gaming or staying active with fitness routines. Curious and engaging, Andreas thrives on connecting with diverse fields and staying up-to-date with the latest in AI and technology.
