Hey there!
So glad you’re here
_
I’m a PhD researcher at the University of Vienna. My work focuses on microbial growth, cell size, and metabolism, using a combination of laboratory experiments, automated bioreactors, and computational analysis.
Right now, I’m pursuing my PhD as part of the FWF Cluster of Excellence - Microplanet: Microbiomes Drive Planetary Health project, where I study microbial biomass and metabolism, particularly in aquatic systems. I spend a good amount of time tinkering with lifescale, running chemostats, culturing microbes, and writing code to make sense of all the data.
Before my PhD, I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. During that time, I worked on projects ranging from microbial applications in sustainable construction to environmental microbiology. Read the full story here
I care about making science more accessible, through clear data visualizations, reproducible code, and open-source tools that others can reuse, adapt, or improve.
When I’m not working, I like to wander around with a sketchbook or camera, obsess over maps, or dive into old-school biology textbooks for inspiration.
I’m also passionate about R programming and education. I create tutorials to help life science researchers make sense of their data using R and build dynamic, interactive, and reproducible reports with R Markdown. Check out my projects for examples of my work, browse through some of my educational presentations, or explore my full curriculum vitae.
My current research combines microbial cultivation, automated bioreactors, single-cell measurements, and data analysis. Outside the lab, I enjoy documenting fieldwork, teaching biological data analysis, and experimenting with small open-source projects.
I’m interested in collaborations involving microbial ecology, quantitative biology, environmental data, scientific visualization, and research education. You can reach out through the links on this website.
