About me
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 focuses on hadron physics, with particular interests in hadron spectroscopy, reactions, and structure, as well as hadrons in medium and under external fields. I am also interested in pursuing more interdisciplinary directions. I have experience working with a variety of hadronic models. As a lifelong learner, I continuously seek to broaden my knowledge and expand my research horizons within the diverse field of hadron physics.
