Ph.D. Yeungnam Univ.
MT. UI
BS. ITB
Biography
Dr. Amal Graduated from Bandung Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. His undergraduate research focused on Fibrinolytic enzymes from local earthworms Perionyx excavatus strain. After college, he received his degree of Master of Engineering in Material Science from Indonesia University. He moved to South Korea and was awarded P.hD in Material Science and Engineering from Yeungnam University in 2012. His dissertation work was on the formation of Cu2ZnSnX4 (X=S,Se) thin films by chalcogenizaion of sputtered metallic precursor from a Cu-Zn-Sn target. Currently, his research is working on development of processing technology for manganese ore resources into manganese derivative products.
Hanny Shafira
Researcher of Materials for Sustainable Environment Group Research
ST. ITB
Biography
Shafira graduated from Bandung Institute of Technology in 2018 with a Bachelor in Bioengineering. Her undergraduate research with Dr. Taufikurahman focused on bioremediation of anaerobic digested dairy manure wastewater using microalgae by varying the type of LED. Currently, she belongs to Materials for Sustainable Environment research group and works in wastewater treatment using advanced oxidation process integrated with bubble mill generator to increase mass transfer efficiencies at the gas-liquid interfaces. She has much interest in the bioremediation, biorefinery and product development of microalgae, especially the production of its secondary metabolites.
