A social scientist who comes from international development and civil society backgrounds as well as loves traveling across the world, he was directly involved in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Aceh post-disaster and post-conflict before being a lecturer.

Completing his degree at Deakin University in TESOL is inadequate to associate himself as a social-sciences researcher in Education. He then collaborated with some experts at the University of Sydney and the University Technology of Sydney to hone his research skills with Master of Arts (by Research) about social research in general domains such as ethnography, phenomenology, case study, survey, stimulated recall interviews, quick count as well as specific domains such as teachers' language awareness, artificial intelligence in language metacognition, teaching methodology, language assessment, communication strategies, critical discourse analysis, teachers' behavior and beliefs, and computer-assisted language learning.

He finally completed his Master's research study about communication strategies of university lecturers from the University of Technology Sydney, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in 2017. It was found that there were still many areas of improvement in the way to optimize communication strategies in the provision of high-quality input and interaction in classroom teaching.

With regard to his doctoral degree at Macquarie University, he focused on Intercultural Approach to English Teaching and Learning; a recently-renowned language teaching approach that promotes the development of skills, knowledge, and attitudes towards the target language's cultures. The approach thus inculcates cultural studies in the form of intercultural values such as open-mindedness, tolerance, peace and cooperation in a multilingual and multicultural context. 

He also advocates the heightened awareness of discourse building in public, which is hardly independent of power and ideological relations such as public policy making in many aspects especially political and educational sciences.

Principally, his research's worldview asserts that education is not seen simply as a series of capacity-building activities; it is a cultural reflection of society that is local, specific, experientially, and ecologically-constructed where economic, health, and other sociocultural aspects have been being fulfilled simultaneously. Therefore, there needs an encompassing approach to enhance educational achievement with a holistic intervention on people, organisation, community involved in a social education perspective. 

At present, he is entrusted to be the Coordinator of the Postgraduate (Doctoral Degree) of Social Education Study Program at the University of Syiah Kuala.
