Hello! I'm Aqsha
I am currently working as an assistant professor (lecturer) at Dept. of Bioenergy Engineering & Chemurgy, ITB, Indonesia as well as a technology advisor for PETROLAB Services, Indonesia and CM Technologies, Canada. Before joining ITB, I worked for Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia and Fuel Additive company, PE Fuel Solutions Inc. as Research and Development Manager since 2014. I also worked for EPC company (Rekayasa Industri, Indonesia) and gas processing company (ConocoPhillips, Indonesia). I obtained my PhD from the University of Calgary, Canada in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering where I worked on several industrial projects/research including waste to energy conversion, product development from municipal and industrial waste, development of fuel additive and CO2 capture project. I am currently focus on the area of Waste to Energy Conversion, Biofuel Production (biogas, biogasoline, biodiesel, bio-crude oil), Bio-based Product Development (fuel additive, biolubricant, DHA, etc).
