I graduated from ITB majoring in mining engineering-metallurgical engineering specialty. After finishing my undergraduate study, I joined P.T. Wilson Walton Indonesia (formerly a Corrpro company) as a project engineer for at least three years and was responsible for conducting site survey, design engineering, and installation supervision concerning corrosion control for the underground pipeline and piping system, aboveground storage tank and other facilities mostly in petroleum industries. During my master’s study, we successfully built locally-made arc-melting furnace for making alloys and used the equipment to improving mechanical properties of TiAl alloys. When I was a doctoral student at the Colorado School of Mines, I also had a great opportunity getting involved at the center for the innovative in earth resources science and engineering (CIERSE), which has been established by the Newmont Mining Corporation. I have been trying to contribute professionally and significantly by working together with the principal investigators for indicating and establishing the potential parameters to be investigated and solved in the grinding mills for better energy efficiency and performance in terms of lifter design and operating parameters. Also, the mill can be used to evaluate the metallurgical performance/wear resistance of mill liners/lifters and steel balls for different sources of ores. There are still so many problems in my areas of interest that require scientists and engineers to keep doing advanced researches in order to increase process efficiency, to lower production cost, to find other environmentally benign processing methods. I focus my research on metallurgical processes, non-ferrous alloys, as well as simulation and optimization. In addition, because mineral deposits in the earth have diminished and the environmental issues concerning metal wastes have emerged, I will also concentrate my research on recycling metallurgy of used metals such as aluminum, copper, gold, and steel. I am committed to doing innovative research and development now and in the future. Finally, I look forward to providing technical consultancies, building networks, and establishing a collaborative research with national laboratory and metal industries. My research interests are mineral & metal processing, alloy design & heat treatment, corrosion
