Personal

I am a theoretical physicist working in nuclear and hadron physics. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the Department of Physics at Universitas Indonesia in 2015 and completed my Ph.D. in physics at Osaka University in 2020. During my doctoral studies, I also undertook a six-month internship at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), which provided valuable exposure to experimental research environments. Following my Ph.D., I joined the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP), South Korea, as a Young Scientist Training (YST) Fellow. I later worked at RIKEN, Japan, as a Special Postdoctoral Researcher (SPDR). Currently, I am working at Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), JAEA.

My research

My research is mainly focused on hadron physics, with a particular interest in hadron spectroscopy, reactions, and structure, as well as hadrons in matter. I have experience using various models, such as the effective Lagrangian approach, chiral quark model, light-front quark model, and quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. One of my main areas of interest is the Dalitz plot analysis, which I have employed to investigate hadron resonances. Furthermore, I am intrigued by the light-front quark model, which provides a relativistic approach to studying hadron structure. As a lifelong learner, I am always eager to acquire new knowledge and expand my research interests in the vast field of hadron physics.
