I am a lecturer at the Department of Mining Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Syiah Kuala University (Unsyiah), Banda Aceh. Before joining Unsyiah, I was working as Exploration Geologist and Mining Engineer for several companies in Indonesia. I completed my master degree in Mining Engineering at Western Australian School of Mines, Curtin University, Australia (2014). I hold a bachelor degree in the same area from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), specialised in Mining Exploration. My research interests are in mineral exploration, geomechanics, and mine planning and optimisation.
