My academic journey in Chemistry began at the University of Indonesia, where I pursued my undergraduate studies. During this time, I secured research grants for projects focused on utilising natural resources to develop antituberculosis agents and insecticides. Electrochemistry then caught my interest, leading me to join the Bioelectrochemistry research group, where I conducted research on non-enzymatic cholesterol sensor for my final year project.

Continuing my passion in bioelectrochemistry, I joined the Zhang group at the University of Cambridge for my MPhil degree. During this period, I developed a multi-electrode array to accelerate experiments on photosynthetic biohybrid systems. This array served as a screening platform for several commercially available compounds, identifying potential electron shuttles capable of extracting electrons from within the photosynthetic components.

This project has evolved into my current PhD research, where I aim to design and synthesize more efficient electron shuttles. To provide deeper insights, I also elucidate the mechanisms and limitations of electron extraction by these shuttles using electrochemical methods in tandem with spectroscopy.

Outside of my research, I enjoy walking and exploring nature, playing music, and baking delicious treats. I am also passionate about promoting scientific literacy among the public and contributing to animal welfare initiatives.
