My professional journey bridges the academic and policy spheres anchored by two complementary roles that define my work in Indonesia’s energy and financial landscape. As Executive Director of the Institute for Energy, Economics & Finance (IEEF), I lead a national think tank dedicated to advancing research and strategic insights in energy transition, sustainable finance, and economic policy. Under my direction, IEEF functions as a collaborative platform that connects government, industry, and academia translating complex energy and financial data into actionable policy recommendations and investment frameworks. Concurrently, as Assistant Professor at the School of Business and Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung (SBM ITB), I engage in teaching and research focused on energy economics, finance, and policy modelling. This academic foundation strengthens IEEF’s analytical rigor, while the institute’s applied projects enrich my teaching with real-world relevance and empirical evidence.
