“Coming from Indonesia, I am driven by the question of how developing countries can achieve sustainable growth without relying on dirty energy sources. Working with my PI, Michael Greenstone, whose research on the Economics of the Global Energy Challenge addresses this critical question, has been a unique opportunity to contribute to the cutting-edge solutions. Being at EPIC also means I am constantly surrounded by leaders in the field, supportive peers, and numerous opportunities to grow as a young researcher. I have already deepened my research skills significantly in the short time I have been here.”
