I am a Ph.D. candidate working in the Scientific Diving and marine biology laboratory at the Bogor Agricultural Institute - Indonesia. I am very interested in the study of mesophotic coral ecosystems, their connectivity with shallow coral reefs, and their differences in terms of community structure, population structure, symbiosis, and biological processes.

  Please note that only publications relevant to mesophotic reefs are indexed.
