I am currently toward my Master degree in Chemical Engineering with Engineering and Project Management
sequence. I had experience on polymer formulation, materials characterization, product innovation, testing,
and development. I also deal with process standardization and optimization. Besides above, I worked on a
project related to build the simulation model to verify the process feasibility and novel bioreactor. I enjoy working
both independently and interdependently. Therefore I’m actively seeking the position that I can both contribute
myself and complement the team.
