Raymond Christianto comes from Indonesia. He lived in Surakarta, then moved to Yogyakarta in 2014 to do a Bachelor in Engineering Physics at Universitas Gadjah Mada. He has a keen interest in Computer and Physics since Junior High School. This reflected on his final year project which is designing a computer model for an Indonesian endangered musical instrument called ‘Bundengan’.
His PhD project is about designing a smart functionalised surface for water harvesting. While mostly working in simulation, he works closely with experimentalist. His project is interdisciplinary between Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering.
In his free time, he spends his time reading. He enjoys reading fiction and non-fiction, especially about history (World War 2, the Cold War) and about technology.
