About My Research

Environmentalism currently exists as a trend. So, let's make young people understand why our environment is so important to begin with. That starts with infrastructure that is environmentally friendly by detault and gamification that instills joy in learning to protect our planet. I prototyped piezoelectric tiles, which converts pressure exerted on its surface into electrical energy, and created an interactive museum exhibit at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, the largest cultural and educational theme park in the country.

I am currently hosting weekly field trips for national school students to learn about renewables through interactive presentations and live "demo days" with my museum exhibit. This experience has now been available to tens of thousands of visitors who regularly visit Taman Mini.
