I recently completed my PhD in Applied Mathematics at UNSW, Sydney. My research focuses on developing and analysing structure-preserving numerical methods to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in physics or biology. I am particularly interested in Landau-Lifshitz-type PDEs perturbed by random noise arising in the theory of micromagnetics.
More recently, I have also been working on structure-preserving numerical methods for coupled multiphysics problems, including diffuse-interface tumour growth models (Cahn-Hilliard-type system) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in plasma physics. Since my work engages with the usual aspects of numerical analysis (stability, convergence, and structure preservation), it inevitably draws me into the theoretical depths of both PDEs and SPDEs.
I am also working as a tutor for various undergraduate mathematics courses. In parallel with my academic work, I currently manage smartIQ Education, a prominent test preparation centre serving Indonesian high school students enrolled in international curricula.
