Prof. Adi Setiawan Universitas Malikussaleh, Indonesia |
My name is Adi Setiawan, and I am currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Universitas Malikussaleh, Indonesia, with more than 20 years of academic and research experience in renewable and sustainable energy systems. My expertise includes biomass thermochemical conversion, hydrothermal carbonization, catalytic combustion, thermal engineering, and advanced bio-based fuels and materials. I earned my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and have published extensively in Scopus-indexed international journals. My research bridges fundamental science and practical applications, particularly in bioenergy, biochar, hydrogen storage materials, and clean fuel technologies. I have led and contributed to numerous nationally funded and industry-collaborative research projects, supervised undergraduate to doctoral students, and actively serve as a reviewer and speaker in international academic forums. My professional focus is on advancing sustainable energy solutions through innovation, collaboration, and high-impact research.
