After having completion bachelor of science (B.Sc.) degree in Physics from  Syiah Kuala University, Aceh, Indonesia on 1998, he then acquired his master degree of engineering (M. Eng.) in Optoelectrotechniques and Laser Applications from University of Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia on 2001. On September 2005, he was conferred degree of doctor of engineering (D. Eng.) in Fiber Amenity Engineering by University of Fukui, Fukui, Japan. The topic of his doctoral dissertation was study on atomic emission spectroscopy using laser-induced plasma. Just after finishing the doctoral course, he was awarded a two year postdoctoral fellowship, started from October 2005 until September 2007, by Japanese Government through Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), Japan for conducting collaborative research at University of Fukui, Japan on developing a real time monitoring system for laser material processing. After very short return to his home university from Japan, since October 2008 till December 2009, he has had been awarded a postdoctoral fellowship for Training and Research in Italian Laboratories (TRIL) program jointly funded in the frame of collaboration between international centre for the theoretical physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy, united nations for education, scientific and cultural organization (UNESCO) and international atomic energy association (IAEA) and Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment (ENEA), Italy for conducting collaborative research on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and its application to environmental monitoring at ENEA Frascati Research Centre, Roma, Italy. His main research interest is mechanistic and experimental studies on laser-induced plasma, also widely known as laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), and its applications to various fields including spectrochemical analysis and laser material processing. He has worked to develop new applications of laser-induced breakdown plasma spectroscopy (LIBS) for spectrochemical analysis, especially related to environmental monitoring such as hydrogen analysis in zircaloy tube used in nuclear power plant using LIBS technique, developing LIBS based technique for soil pollution analysis (CO2 laser and metal sub target), inspection building material degradation using LIBS technique. Nowadays, he is starting a research for analyzing of natural mineral samples using LIBS, especially local materials of his home town Aceh, such as coal, gemstone, and soil especially tsunami impacted soil. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy study on tsunami impacted soil is one very important research to his home town and its also one research priority of Syiah Kuala University, since his home town Banda Aceh was destroyed by the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami on December 2004. He was awarded several research grants regarding laser induced breakdown study on tsunami impacted soil samples. This research is conducted with collaboration with University of Fukui, Japan and King Fadh University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia. He has served as Associated Professor and also served as Secretary of the Department of Physics (2011-2015), chairman of the Department of Physics (2015-2019) at Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Syiah Kuala University, Aceh, Indonesia. He was Executive Secretary of Physical Society of Indonesia (PSI), Aceh’s chapter (2011-2014) and then Chairman of PSI, Aceh’s chapter (2014-2017). He serves academic community as reviewer for several reputable international and national journals. He was Executive Secretary of Japan University Alumni Association in Indonesia (PERSADA), Aceh’s chapter (2014-2017) and now Chairman of PERSADA, Aceh’s chapter (2018-2021).
