Dr. Roy B. V. B. Simorangkir – Assistant Professor

Roy earned a B.S. degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia, in 2010, followed by a year of lecturing at the Institut Teknologi Harapan Bangsa. Subsequently, he pursued higher education, earning an M.S. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University, South Korea, in 2014, and a PhD in Electronic Engineering from Macquarie University, Australia, in 2018. Post-PhD, he delved into a dynamic career path, commencing with postdoctoral research at the Reconfigurable Electronics and Antennas Research Group at Macquarie University in late 2018. He extended his academic journey as an Associate Lecturer at Macquarie University International College from 2018 to 2020. During this tenure, he broadened his research horizons with 1-year international postdoctoral research role at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications of Rennes (IETR), University of Rennes 1, France. In 2020, he transitioned to the role of Postdoctoral Researcher at the Wireless Sensor Network group, Tyndall National Institute, Ireland, later advancing to the position of Senior Postdoctoral Researcher and working there until 2023.
