From power plant engineer to energy researcherDari insinyur pembangkit ke peneliti energi発電所エンジニアからエネルギー研究者へ

Dr. Firman graduated in Mechanical Engineering from ITB (2008, cum laude, top graduate) and spent five years in Tokyo as a control and information engineer in thermal power generation, working on overseas coal-fired and combined-cycle projects. He earned his M.Eng. (2016) and Dr.Eng. (2019) at the Tokyo Institute of Technology on heat transfer in silicon nanocrystal nanocomposites.Dr. Firman lulus Teknik Mesin ITB (2008, cum laude, lulusan terbaik) dan bekerja lima tahun di Tokyo sebagai insinyur kontrol dan informasi bidang pembangkit termal untuk proyek PLTU dan PLTGU di luar negeri. Ia meraih M.Eng. (2016) dan Dr.Eng. (2019) di Tokyo Institute of Technology dengan riset perpindahan panas pada nanokomposit nanokristal silikon.ITB機械工学科を2008年に首席・優等で卒業後、東京で5年間、火力発電の制御・情報エンジニアとして海外の石炭火力・コンバインドサイクル案件に従事。東京工業大学でシリコンナノ結晶複合材料の伝熱研究により修士（2016）、博士（2019）を取得。

His research now spans non-carbon fuel production and combustion, carbon mineralization and new-generation power plants. He founded the ETC Lab as an inclusive, multidisciplinary hub, and serves on national hydrogen standards committees (ESDM PNPS, BSN TC 27-11) and the editorial board of the Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences.Risetnya kini mencakup produksi dan pembakaran bahan bakar non-karbon, mineralisasi karbon, dan pembangkit generasi baru. Ia mendirikan ETC Lab sebagai pusat multidisiplin yang inklusif, serta menjadi anggota komite standar hidrogen nasional (PNPS ESDM, Komtek BSN 27-11) dan dewan editor Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences.現在の研究は非炭素燃料の製造と燃焼、炭素鉱物化、次世代発電所に及びます。包摂的で学際的な拠点としてETC研究室を設立し、国家水素規格委員会（ESDM PNPS、BSN TC 27-11）委員、Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences編集委員を務めています。
