Julius Kusuma

I've worked as a research scientist since completing my PhD at MIT, working in the interface between the digital world and the physical world. At Schlumberger, I led a research team developing subsea and subsurface communication systems used for energy infrastructure. When I joined Facebook, I worked on telecom network infrastructure for deep-rural and dense-urban areas, contributing to power management of telecom sites and the design of broadband wireless sites.

Now at Meta, I work on sustainability technologies for our data center infrastructure. One project we are working on is using AI to optimize concrete mixes, to reduce the embodied carbon of a data center without sacrificing relevant performance: we took this research idea to demonstration in a real data center.
