astronomer. astronomy communicator by day. new media practitioners. story teller and podcaster in the making. social media observer. web developer and web administrator by accident.
I currently work as a writer and communicator, with a keen interest in social science, philosophy, art, archaeology and history. I'm involved extensively with astronomy communication with the public, enjoying the challenge of conveying complex ideas in an easy-to-understand manner.
I mostly write about astronomy in langitselatan and doing podcast at 365 Days Of Astronomy. Aside than writing under my name, I also write Q&A article in langitselatan under pseudonym Pengembara Angkasa (Space Wanderer), as part of the Q&A teams.

Background & Experience

Education

2004 - 2007

Master of Science in Astrophysics

Astronomy Department, Institut Teknologi Bandung

Thesis : Planetary System Modeling : Study Case Solar System and 47 Ursae Majoris

Planetary system modeling using planetary system generator, which is built based on a simple accretion model (Dole 1970) and considering the present structure of the solar system. Data on newly discovered extrasolar planets are also taken into account. It is then applied to generate 47 Ursae Majoris system to analyze its evolution. The planetary system generator in this project is a modification to ACRETE simulation by implementing perturbation and tidal effect of the system.

1997 - 2003

Bachelor of Science in Astronomy

Astronomy Department, Institut Teknologi Bandung

Research: Extrasolar Planet : 47 Ursae Majoris System, Perturbation Effect & its Evolution

The project aims to analyze 47 Ursae Majoris system stabilization using Weak Friction-Perturbation Model (WFPM). This is a numerical model based on the perturbation and the tidal effect.  We analyze the orbital element changes and compare it with the Sun-Jupiter-Saturn system to analyze the system evolution compare to Solar System.
