Dr. M. Syukri Surbakti, S.Si., M.Si., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK), with research interests in instrumentation for meteorology, climatology, and geophysics, as well as electromagnetics, data communication and telemetry, and analog-digital electronics. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Universitas Sumatera Utara, his Master’s degree in Physics from Universitas Gadjah Mada, and his Doctorate in Physics from Universiti Sains Malaysia. His recent research and development projects include the identification of physical and chemical properties of Indonesia’s superior export coffee varieties after roasting, and the design of a wireless sensor network-based flood disaster monitoring system using big data analytics. He collaborates with national and international partners, including BMKG on the development of Geometry Normalized Electromagnetic System (GNES) tools for landslide and liquefaction early warning, and Griffith University on post-harvest coffee bean property measurements. His publications cover topics such as Arduino-based TCS3200 color sensor development for borax and rhodamine B detection, dissolved mercury (II) ion sensing using chitosan-AgNP smartphone-integrated strips, and physical characterization of medium-roasted robusta coffee beans. He is the author of a copyrighted book on Linux Ubuntu-based server and network development and an active member of the Physical Society of Indonesia (PSI). Dr. Surbakti teaches in both the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in Physics at USK.
