Biography

Hudyjaya received his Bachelor of Engineering degree majoring in Robotics & Mechatronics and PhD degree both from Swinburne University of Technology. He worked as a teaching assistant in Swinburne Sarawak while continuing his doctorate research from 2008 until 2012.

In 2012, he joined Swinburne Sarawak as a Lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering, Computing, and Science and was appointed as Senior Lecturer in 2018. He has been actively engaged in research related to the field of robotics and mechatronics, automation, and, mechanisation as well as supervising students in various projects and international/national level robotics competition.

Dr. Siswoyo Jo has successfully completed several manufacturing and automation projects focusing on Industry 4.0 implementation for the Small-Medium Enterprise in Sarawak. Besides robotics, he also has a special interest in embedded system implementation in home automation and multimedia smart gallery systems.

He has been involved in several corporate building automation and smart gallery projects as a technical consultant including the recently launched Borneo Cultures Museum, which is the second largest museum in Southeast Asia.

His research interests include mechatronics system design, modelling and control, industrial automation, human-machine interaction, and agriculture mechanisation.
