Hendra Nurdin

Dr. Hendra 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 employed since 2012. His academic journey began with a Sarjana Teknik (equivalent to a Bachelor of Engineering) in Electrical Engineering from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia, followed by an MSc in Engineering Mathematics from the University of Twente in the Netherlands, and culminated with a PhD in Engineering and Information Science from the Australian National University in 2007.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Engineering and Information Science, Australian National University, 2007
• MSc in Engineering Mathematics, University of Twente, The Netherlands
• Sarjana Teknik (ST, equivalent to Bachelor of Engineering) in Electrical Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia

Dr. Nurdin's research lies at the intersection of control engineering and systems theory with quantum physics and energy systems. He has made significant contributions to quantum control systems, quantum information processing, and microgrid control. His work combines theoretical advances in quantum stochastic processes with practical applications in quantum computing and renewable energy systems. He has developed novel approaches to quantum reservoir computing, quantum parameter estimation, and control of distributed energy resources.

His recent publications reveal a strong focus on quantum reservoir computing, non-Markovian quantum systems, and the intersection of quantum information with machine learning. There's a clear trend toward practical implementations of quantum information processing systems, particularly exploring how quantum systems can enhance computational capabilities. His work bridges fundamental quantum theory with engineering applications, demonstrating how quantum phenomena can be harnessed for practical computing and sensing tasks.

Dr. Nurdin has received recognition including an ARC APD Fellowship (2009-2011). His research has resulted in numerous publications in top-tier journals including Nature Communications, Physical Review series, and IEEE Transactions.

He has successfully supervised multiple PhD students to completion, including Dr. Jiayin Chen (2022), Dr. Jiacheng Li (2021), Dr. Muhammad Ali (2021), and Dr. Zhan Shi (2016). Currently, he is supervising Mr. Wen Liu as a PhD candidate. His research is supported by various funding mechanisms including Sydney Quantum Academy scholarships and UNSW research grants, enabling him to pursue cutting-edge research in quantum systems and control.

Dr. Nurdin is actively involved with the Sydney Quantum Academy, supervising research in quantum systems and control. His work contributes to Australia's growing quantum technology ecosystem, collaborating with researchers across multiple institutions to advance quantum information processing and quantum engineering applications.
