Profile

I hold a bachelor's degree in Computational Statistics from the Institute of Statistics in Jakarta, Indonesia, and a master's degree in Computer Science from Old Dominion University in Virginia, USA. Before pursuing my PhD, I worked as a statistician at Statistics Indonesia.


PhD project

Title: "Harnessing Big Data Potential for Real-Time Monitoring and Measuring Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Activities"

My PhD research explores how big data analytics, particularly from social media and news articles, can enhance the real-time monitoring of MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise) activities. By developing predictive models and leveraging machine learning techniques, the study seeks to bridge data gaps and improve the understanding of MSME dynamics. The outcomes aim to support evidence-based policymaking and foster better strategies for MSME development.
