Dr. Agung Budiyono is a senior researcher at Pusat Riset Fisika Kuantum, Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional (Research Center for Quantum Physics, National Research and Innovation Agency – BRIN), Tangerang, Banten.

He earned a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering through an accelerated undergraduate–master’s program at Kyoto University, and a PhD in applied physics and mathematics from Osaka City University.

As a Fulbright Visiting Scholar, Dr. Agung is conducting research in physics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. His project examines nonclassical Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability as a framework for characterizing quantum resources and their application in quantum technology. He also aims to build connections between his research group in Indonesia and related research communities in the United States to initiate long-term collaboration in the field of quantum information and technology.
