I am working as lecturer in Jenderal Soedirman University, Central Java, Indonesia. I focus on geology research, specifically in geochemistry for oil and gas. I really like observing geological phenomena, especially earthquakes and also do a lot of research related to geoparks.I have experience worked within the oil and gas sector for the better part of 15 years in technical and commercial environments.
