Corinthias P. M. Sianipar is an Assistant Professor at Kyoto University, Japan, where he is affiliated with the Department of Global Ecology and the Division of Environmental Science and Technology. His former affiliations include, among others, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria; the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Indonesia; Tokyo University of Science (TUS), Japan; and Swisscontact Indonesia. He has served as, inter alia, a co-leader of the Business Special Interest Group (BSIG) at System Dynamics Society; an external supervisor at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI); a visiting professor at BINUS University, Indonesia; an expert examiner for the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Indonesia; and a consultant to various development projects in Southeast Asia. He was/is a three-times Best Graduate Awards, a recipient of Best Paper Awards, and a Principal Investigator (PI), Co-Investigator (Co-I), as well as Collaborator of several research grants. In addition, he is an Associate Editor for the Environmental Development journal (Elsevier). In 2016, he was elected by fellow young scientists from all around the world to deliver speech in front of H.E. Tarja Halonen (11th President of Finland, 2000–2012) and H.E. Heinz Fischer (President of Austria, 2004–2016) during their presidential visits to IIASA^[1].

Dr. Sianipar has long been known as a technologist and an endorser of Appropriate Technology for Sustainable Development. An interdisciplinary scholar trained in engineering and social science education, his research interests include multi-actor systems^[2], socio-ecological modelling^[3], regional development^[4], and technological change within the science-to-policy-to-action framework, with applied focuses on renewable energy^[5], land-use planning^[6], ecosystem services^[7], circular economy, climate change adaptation^[8], supply chain management, development engineering, and appropriate technology. On the other hand, his methodological expertise is in complex systems analysis (Systems Thinking, QUANTITATIVE^W: System Dynamics, Agent-Based Modeling, Discrete-Event Simulation, Graph Theory, Interpretative Structural Modeling, Stochastic Optimizations; QUALITATIVE^W: Drama Theory, Critical System Heuristics^[2], Serious Games, Soft System Methodology), life-cycle assessment (Life-Cycle Assessment^[9], Social Life-Cycle Assessment), and socio-technical design^[10] (Socio-Technical Systems, Design Thinking). For more than a decade, his work has been delivering systemic and systematic socio-technical solutions for different development contexts. He crafts various methodical integrations of computational modeling and qualitative analysis to foster resilience and empowerment by delivering an "adequate fit of innovation" for vulnerable societal groups. He has been working with vulnerable communities, organizations, governments, etc., in developed and developing countries that have technical inadequacy, lack economic resources, suffer from environmental constraints, and experience social confrontations.

In scholarly communities, Dr. Sianipar is known as the leader of an international team of collaborators who developed the Design Methodology for Appropriate Technology^[11] (DMAT), which is the first completely-dedicated methodology for guiding the design process of Appropriate Technologies. The methodology itself is known for being the first design methodology for humanitarian purposes that formally encode the position of humans as the center of design process, a maxim on which philosophers of design have been calling for years^[12]. Before the first release of the DMAT, he also proposed the Seven Pillars of Survivability^[13] to address the idea of technological solution for community empowerment purposes, by which he proposed an in-depth three-level classification of technological appropriateness^[10] (i.e., basically-appropriate, environmentally-appropriate^[14], and socially-appropriate). The seven pillars are distinguished into three tangible (technical, economic, and environmental) and three intangible pillars (cultural, judicial, and political), which are connected by an intermediating pillar (social). Later, the seven pillars become the fundamental understanding of many core principles in the DMAT.
