About

Dr. Irfan Tito Kurniawan is a leading researcher in autonomous robotic systems for healthcare disinfection, specializing in the intersection of ultraviolet-C (UVC) germicidal irradiation and mobile robotics. His work addresses the critical challenge of safe, effective surface disinfection in medical environments, particularly relevant in the post-pandemic era. Dr. Kurniawan's major contributions include developing a novel method for simulating and evaluating UVC surface irradiation, which enables precise calculation of radiation doses delivered to targeted surfaces—a key factor in pathogen inactivation. He further advanced the field by designing and implementing complete autonomy software for UVC disinfection robots, allowing these systems to operate without human intervention, thereby eliminating both infection and radiation exposure risks. His foundational papers, "A Method of Ultraviolet-C Surface Irradiation Simulation and Evaluation" (2021, 6 citations) and "Autonomy Design and Development for an Ultraviolet-C Healthcare Surface Disinfection Robot" (2021, 4 citations), have established benchmarks for simulation-based validation and autonomous deployment in healthcare robotics. Through this pioneering work, Dr. Kurniawan is shaping the future of automated infection control, making hospital environments safer for both patients and healthcare workers.
