Profile Summary

Resta Agung Susilo is a researcher at the Research Center for Quantum Physics, BRIN. He obtained his PhD from the University of New South Wales, Australia in 2016 with research focused on the magnetism of rare-earth-based intermetallic compounds. After that, he shifted his research to study the properties of materials under extreme conditions (low temperature, high pressure, high magnetic field). Currently, Resta focuses his interest on the properties of topological materials and quantum materials at extremes, intending to harness new physical or quantum states that are inaccessible at ambient conditions for future technological applications. He is experienced in transport and optical measurement techniques at high pressures and has extensive experience with synchrotron X-ray experiments (both scattering and spectroscopy) under extreme conditions at large-scale facilities such as SSRF (Shanghai, China), SPring-8 (Japan), ALS (Berkeley, USA) and APS (Argonne, USA).
