Aug. 2009 · Aug. 2013B.Sc. in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics
Depok, Indonesia.
Affiliations
My academic training began in condensed matter physics and later expanded into synthetic chemistry, energy engineering, electrochemistry, and materials and device research in Indonesia, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
Current affiliations
I am currently an InnoCORE AI Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST, working with Prof. Il-Kwon Oh. My research on Li-S and anode-free Li-S batteries, electrochemical interfaces, functional current collectors, and structural-battery integration is carried out within the KAIST PRISM-AI Center and the Soft Robotics and Intelligent Materials Laboratory (SRIM Lab).
Affiliations over time
I began with semiconductor and thin-film physics, then moved into electrochemical interfaces, rechargeable batteries, and integrated energy devices. The entries below separate degree training from postdoctoral appointments.
