About

Hi, I’m Edo. I’m a PhD researcher at the University of Vienna, where I study microbial growth, cell size, and metabolism in aquatic systems. Most days involve chemostats, automated bioreactors, single-cell measurements, and R.

I studied biology at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember in Indonesia. Before moving to Vienna, I worked on projects in environmental microbiology and microbial applications in sustainable construction. That mix of laboratory work and data analysis still shapes how I approach research.

I use R for analysis, visualization, and reproducible reporting. Sometimes I turn what I learn into notes and examples, small tools, or tutorials. You can browse my projects, presentations, or curriculum vitae.

Outside academia, I try to remember that not everything has to be productive. I enjoy reading, digital drawing, photography, bouldering, hiking, cooking, and meeting new people. None of these things needs to become a project, a skill, or an achievement. I simply enjoy doing them.

Maybe you arrived through a research project, some code, a map, or a photograph. However you found this page, thank you for spending a little time in this corner of the internet. I’m glad you stopped by.

If you also enjoy cooking, send me a recipe you keep coming back to. Or share a photograph you took, a trail you enjoyed, a drawing, or a book you think I should read. It doesn’t have to be about work. I’d be happy to hear from you.
