Ronny Hartanto appointed professor of Computer Engineering at Rhein-Waal University

Ronny Hartanto was one of the first students in the master’s program in autonomous systems. Originally from Indonesia, he soon felt at home and became an active member of the University’s RoboCup team b-it bots, which succeeded in national and international competition, as they still do. Additionally, he coached international students and helped them settle in.

However, his academic achievements did not suffer from his extracurricular activities: Following his graduation, Ronny worked as a research associate at the b-it Applied Science Institute for several years and wrote his PhD thesis “Fusing DL Reasoning with HTN Planning as a Deliberative Layer in Mobile Robotics” which was awarded the FBTI prize 2012.

Since 2010, Ronny Hartanto had been working at the German Reasearch centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Bremen. In January, he was appointed professor of Computer Engineering at the faculty of technology and bionics at Rhein-Waal University in Kleve!
