About me

Bridging the laboratory, the field and the people

I am a plant pathologist who turns rigorous laboratory science into practical agricultural impact — and who has led organisations of thousands of students along the way.

I hold a Master’s degree in Plant Pathology from Universitas Brawijaya, graduating Cum Laude with a 3.95 GPA. My work spans scientific research, plant pathogen isolation and identification, fertiliser and fungicide efficacy testing, and field assistance across dozens of agricultural development programmes.

My research is centred strongly on bacteriology — investigating both plant-pathogenic bacteria and beneficial microbes as biological agents for sustainable plant-disease management. Alongside the laboratory, I have led large-scale organisations — including a faculty student body of over 6,000 — sharpening my project management, public speaking and leadership. I am driven by Research & Development opportunities in agribusiness and related industries.
