Intelligent sensing and energy Laboratory
Research Field
Dr. Kuncoro was an associate professor at Bandung State Polytechnic (Polban), Indonesia, from 1995 to 2019. Since 2020, he has been an assistant professor at the Department of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Energy Engineering at NCUT. His research interests include embedded systems, sensor integration, control and monitoring applications, bio-signal sensing, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, wireless power, and energy harvesting.
He has published papers in some reputable international journals and international conferences. He is also a reviewer in some international and national journals such as the International Journal of Energy Research, IEEE Access, Sensors, Energies, Electronics, Applied Science, Sustainability, Epsilon, Telematika, JTT, JITEL, etc.
Our laboratory research activities focus on the development of intelligent sensors and energy conservation systems and applications. We developed smart sensor nodes and fusion sensors for indoor air quality monitoring. The sensor node couples with an indoor energy harvester toward the autonomous sensor node.
We also develop smart systems based on artificial intelligence and IoT technology for monitoring and surveillance applications such as health monitoring, environment monitoring, machine condition monitoring, etc.
