Dr. Warsito received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemical engineering in 1992 and 1994, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electronic science and technology in 1997, from Shizuoka University, Japan. He invented multimodal ultrasound tomography for Gas-Liquid and Gas-Liquid-Solid systems imaging during his PhD study. He worked in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, US, as a post-doctoral research associate from 1999 to 2006, where he developed and invented Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT), US and PCT Patents 2006, together with Prof. L.S. Fan of the Ohio State University in 2004. The technology has been used by NASA in aerospace research to develop imaging techniques in spacecraft during space missions and by the National Energy Technology Laboratory, US Department of Energy, as a standard imaging modality for real-time and volumetric imaging of fluidization systems for the development of next-generation power plants. The technology is also used by major oil and gas industries for research related to particle technology, powder processing, and the system operation of oil refineries to verify supercomputer simulation codes.
In 2007, he founded CTech Labs Edwar Technology Company, Indonesia, where he and his team invented ECVT brain and breast scanners for the first time. The invention was featured as one of the milestones inventions in Indonesian history by the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Technology in 2010. He and his colleagues have also invented and developed Electro-Capacitive Cancer Therapy (ECCT), ID and PCT Patents, 2017, for cancer treatment based on low-level electric fields. During the past 10 years, the technology has helped thousands of final-stage cancer patients who were already in diary conditions at the beginning to achieve 5-year survivals; hundreds of them have achieved 10-year survivals in disease-free and normal conditions, including his sister as the first patient to use the invention.
He received numerous prestigious awards in Indonesia for his inventions, including the Achmad Bakrie Award for the technology category in 2009, the Industrial Pioneering Technology Award from the Ministry of Industry in 2010, the Intellectual Property Award from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in 2014, the BJ Habibie Technology Award in 2015, and other prestigious awards. He invented more than 20 patents and published over 150 articles in international journals and conferences. His research interests are in the fields of tomography, low-level electric field applications for cancer treatment and medical imaging, multiphase flow imaging, and dynamics.
