Dr Muhamad Risqi Saputra

Muhamad Risqi U. Saputra (Risqi) is an assistant professor in Data Science at Monash University, Indonesia. Previously, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the Cyber-physical Systems group, Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, United Kingdom (UK). He obtained his DPhil (PhD) in the same department at the University of Oxford. Before coming to Oxford, he finished his master (MEng) and bachelor degrees from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia.


In the professional space, he had experience working as a co-founder in an educational-technology startup company named lexipalindonesia.com and as a senior data scientist in Jakarta Smart City. In the past, he received several awards from a couple of software development competitions, either nationally or internationally, such as Indonesia ICT Awards (INAICTA), International ICT Innovative Services Contest (InnoServe) in Taiwan, and Asia Pacific ICT Alliance Awards (APICTA) in Brunei Darussalam.

His main research interest revolves around the intersection between machine (deep) learning, computer vision, and cyber-physical systems applied to a wide range of problems including navigation, positioning, mapping, object detection, or semantic segmentation, among others. Nevertheless, he is keen to work in diverse interdisciplinary areas including but not limited to smart cities, health science, assistive technology, disaster prevention and management, and so on, as long as it intersects with his main research interest.  His research work has been published in top venue conferences and journals in the area of machine learning, computer vision, artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation such as ICCV, AAAI, ICRA, IROS, RA-L, CSUR, etc.
