As a Science & Technology Studies scholar and Technology Assessment practitioner, I mostly do qualitative research, including ethnography, qualitative interviews and discourse analysis. I refer to concepts such as epistemic cultures, scientific communities, technoscience, innovation regimes, risk cultures or risk governance. With my online-survey on Covid-19, I was interested in expert opinions from diverse disciplines and countries on side-effects, opportunities and potentials for preparedness pertaining to the current and future pandemics.

A long-time journalist with medical background, I have served as program communication officer and consultant for Communication for Development (C4D) at UNICEF Indonesia. With two decades of international experience in business management, government and public relations, education / training, and media, I have broadened my views on socio-political, health, economic and development trends and issues through works in non-profit organizations such as Australia AID, and Germany’s Particip GmbH. Formerly acted as Director for Marketing & Public Relations in a private university in Jakarta, I gained MA in Journalism from University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. My journalistic background in Australia and Indonesia has been enriched, for instance, by leadership experience when acting as the Branch Development head of Indonesian Public Relations Association.
