Narendra Kurnia Putra, Ph.D.

Hi! I’m Narendra Kurnia Putra, an Assistant Professor in the Instrumentation, Control, and Automation Research Group at the Faculty of Industrial Technology (FIT), Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia.

I earned my Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Robotics from the Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. During my doctoral studies, I worked at the Biomedical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at the Institute of Fluid Science, where my research focused on multiobjective optimization and design exploration of intravascular stents.

Since August 2019, I have been part of the Engineering Physics Department at FIT ITB, and in July 2021 I was appointed as Assistant Professor. Alongside teaching, I conduct research at the Medical Instrumentation Laboratory, where my work centers on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for biomedical systems—with a particular interest in hemodynamics, biofluid dynamics, medical instrumentation and measurements, and biomedical engineering more broadly.

Beyond research and teaching, I also serve as Head of the Partnership Team at FIT ITB, where I help initiate, support, and maintain collaborations with academic, industrial, research, and governmental partners.

Outside of academia, I’m curious about many things. I enjoy cooking simple meals, tending to small plants, and—most importantly—spending quality time with my little family.
