I am currently a PhD candidate at the Department of Resource Management and Environmental Studies of the University of British Columbia (UBC). I undertake my PhD research at the Fisheries Ecosystems Restoration Research (FERR) Group at the UBC Fisheries Centre under the supervision of Prof. Tony J. Pitcher.

I earned my Engineer (Ir., Insinyur, 1991) in Fisheries Science degree from Bogor Agricultural University (Institut Pertanian Bogor, IPB) in Indonesia. Under the supervision of Prof. Dedi Sudharma, I completed a thesis research on the population dynamics of mud crab (Scylla serrata) in Cikaso brackish-water lagoon on the southern coast of West Java, adjacent to the Indian Ocean.

I earned my M.Sc. in Resource Management and Environmental Studies degree from UBC Fisheries Centre (1999) under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Pauly, where I evaluated the effect of the 1980 Indonesian trawl ban on the sustainability of the Java Sea fisheries, using an ecosystem-based modelling approach.
