Hendra I Nurdin

Dr. Hendra I Nurdin is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where he has been a faculty member since 2012. His academic background spans Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics with a focus on systems and control theory, with significant research intersections in quantum physics and power engineering. He serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Control Systems Letters (IEEE L-CSS) starting from January 2024.

Dr. Nurdin's research spans quantum systems and control, nonlinear control of microgrids, and neuromorphic computing for nonlinear systems. His work in quantum control intersects with quantum physics while his research on microgrid control intersects with power engineering. His research has resulted in numerous publications across prestigious journals including Nature Communications, Physical Review Research, IEEE Control Systems Letters, and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.

His recent publications (2020-2025) predominantly focus on quantum reservoir computing, quantum parameter estimation, control of non-Markovian quantum systems, and applications of control theory to energy systems. The research demonstrates a clear trajectory toward practical implementations of quantum computing concepts and advanced control methodologies for both quantum and classical systems.

• Associate Editor for IEEE Control Systems Letters (IEEE L-CSS) from January 2024

Dr. Nurdin has supervised several PhD students to completion and currently mentors PhD candidate Wen Liu. His research group has produced significant work in quantum control systems, with former students including Wenxing Li, Yihuan Liao, Jiayin Chen, Jiacheng Li, Muhammad Ali, Zhan Shi, and Onvaree Techakesari. He actively seeks new students with strong academic backgrounds for research in his areas of interest, particularly in quantum systems and control.

His laboratory work focuses on quantum systems control, quantum reservoir computing, and microgrid control systems. He has developed courses including ELEC9782 Special Topics in Electrical Engineering 2 (Quantum Control) and teaches ELEC4631 Continuous-Time Control System Design.
