## About

```text
At Prayoga Institute of Education Research, I conduct field research and collect data for the ongoing Arecanut project.

My research includes developing biogenic nano-silica formulations for pest control in Coffea arabica, enhancing plant defense and reducing pest fecundity.

I’ve used LC-MS/MS proteomic and metabolomic profiling to study molecular responses in pest–plant interactions. I’ve also evaluated silica-solubilizing and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria as potential biofertilizers for coffee agro-ecosystems.

I’ve published peer-reviewed research on silica nanoparticles, Simarouba amara, and coffee pests, and qualified the ASRB-ICAR-NET in Agricultural Microbiology.
