Young researcher with 5+ years of experiences at prestigious research institution. Looking for Ph.D supervisor who works in biomass valorization and its derivatives such as lignin research.

EDUCATION

2017-2019 Master's degree from Kyungpook National University, South Korea
2007-2012 Bachelor's degree from Diponegoro University, Indonesia

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interest is the entire value chain, from lignocellulosic biomass separation to the valorization of isolated biopolymers, with the goal of creating commodities comparable to fossil-based products in a sustainable manner.

FUTURE PROJECTS

BIOMASS VALORIZATION TO PRODUCE SUBSTANCES ANALOGOUS TO FOSSIL-BASED COMMODITIES

Indonesia is an archipelago country that contains a lot of variety of biomass, either as waste or commodities. Biomass or lignocellulosic compound consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, extractives/volatiles, and ash. Biomass fractionations determine the compound structure because severe pretreatment brings damage to cellulose or lignin structure. This research aims to get lignin fractions from biomass to produce a unique functionalized platform of lignin molecules without damaging their structure. Furthermore, lignin is isolated from the black liquor and subject to depolymerization step to obtain renewable flatform chemicals. These obtained chemicals such as aromatic and furanic can be used for many products such as bio-fuels, plastic, pharmaceutical, and many others
