Ariando is currently a Full Professor & the Deputy Head for Research and Graduate Studies at the Department of Physics, National University of Singapore. He received his Bachelor degree in Physics with Honour (Cum Laude, Top 1) in 1998 from ITB Indonesia and Masters degree in 2001 and PhD degree in 2005 both in Physics from the University of Twente, under the direction of Professor Hans Hilgenkamp and Professor Horst Rogalla. In strong collaboration with IBM TJ Watson Research Center, his doctoral thesis included the study of pairing symmetry in high-Tc cuprates and imaging quantum vortices in s-wave/d-wave Josephson junctions. He then became a NanoNed post-doctoral fellow from 2005-2007 and joined National University of Singapore as a Faculty member in 2008. He was a Dean’s Chair Professor of Faculty of Science, Deputy Director of NUSNNI Nanocore, and a NEXT Invited Scientist at CNRS France.
