SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Muhammad Reza Kahar AZIZ was born in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia in 1981. He received Bachelor and Master (Cum Laude) degrees, in 2004 and 2012, respectively, from Electrical Engineering (Telecommunications), Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Bandung, Indonesia. His PhD in Information Science degree was obtained from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), Ishikawa, Japan, in 2016.

In 2004 – 2005, Dr. Reza was a Microwave Radio Service Engineer and Project Coordianator, Siemens Indonesia. Then, he had been with Ericsson Indonesia (EID) as a Broadband Solution Engineer for Wireless and Optical Transport in 2005 – 2010, where he was also selected as Radio Microwave Champion for Indonesia. After that in 2011, he served as Teaching Assistant in ITB and Adjunct Lecturer in Institut Teknologi Telkom (ITT). Since 2012, he has joined Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA), Lampung, Indonesia, as Teaching Staff. He also received Graduate Research Program (GRP) and Doctor Research Fellow (DRF) from JAIST in 2013 – 2016.

Dr. Reza achievements started since Elementary School of SDN 2 Teladan Rawa Laut, Lampung with the top three rank in 6th grade in 1992.
