I completed my bachelor degree in Chemistry and master degree in Material Science and Engineering at Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. Then I got my PhD in physics from The University of Groningen , The Netherlands in 2008 and then worked as postdoctoral scientist at Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden Germany for three years. During PhD and Postdoctoral periods, I got grants to do some experiments in several laboratories such as, European Synchrotron Research Facilities (ESRF) and Institute of Laue-Langevin (ILL)  Grenoble, France, Hamburg Synchrotron Laboratory (HASYLAB),  Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), United Kingdom.  In September 2011, I started my academic career as lecturer in Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia
