I’m a Geology Researcher passionate about how the Earth’s system works throughout the deep geological time and its interaction with human activity to accelerate sustainable green energy transition while optimising current resources.
Originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, I finished my undergrad at the Institute of Technology Bandung in 2010 and received my master’s degree from the University of Bergen, Norway in 2013. After graduation, I worked as an exploration geologist for an oil company in Bergen. From 2015 to 2022, I enjoyed an exciting adventure in Tromsø as part of my PhD and Postdoc at the UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Then, I moved to the UK to work at the Royal Holloway University of London from 2022 to early 2023. I am currently in Sydney for the MSCA fellowship working on the BRAVO (Barents Sea Evolution) Project.
