Profile Nico Surantha received the B.Eng. and M. Eng. degrees from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. He also received a Ph.D. degree from the Graduate School of Computer Science and Systems Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, in 2013. From 2012-2015, He worked for Radrix, Co. Ltd, a Fukuoka-based venture company that provides solutions for digital communication systems as an R&D engineer. From 2015-2016, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Kyushu Institute of Technology. From 2016-2021, he worked as an assistant professor at BINUS Graduate Program, Master of computer science, Bina Nusantara University, Indonesia. He is currently working as a full-time lecturer with the Department of Electrical, Electronics, and Communication Engineering, at Tokyo City University, Japan.

His research interests include artificial intelligence, ubiquitous computing, intelligent systems, and the Internet of things. He has published over 80 international journals and conference papers in electronics, computer science, and information technology. Currently, he is serving as a research expert committee at the IEICE Smart Info Media System Society. He has also been serving as an editor in several journal papers, general chair, and technical program committee in international conference events. He also actively serves as a reviewer for some journals such as IEEE, IEICE, and Springer.

During his graduate school study, he conducted research on signal processing for wireless communication systems. He also has experience developing system-on-chip (SoC) for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. Currently, he is managing a research lab named Ubiquitous Intelligent System Lab. This lab focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of ubiquitous computing and intelligent system to solve the human being problem. The research can be applied to smart healthcare systems to promote health awareness among society and various internet of things applications towards smart cities.
