EARLY ACADEMIC PURSUITS
Asep Sandra Budiman's academic journey is marked by a strong foundation in marine sciences and physics. He completed his Bachelor's degree in Physics from Padjadjaran University in 2006, followed by a Master's degree in Marine Sciences from IPB University in 2015, where his thesis focused on the hydrodynamic model of Mayalibit Bay in Papua, Indonesia. He culminated his academic pursuit with a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences from IPB University in 2022, presenting a dissertation on cross-shelf circulation and its relationship with chlorophyll-a in the South of Java, Indonesia.
PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS
Budiman's professional journey is characterized by his role as a Young Researcher at the Research Center for Climate and Atmosphere under the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in Indonesia. His research experiences include collaborative projects with prestigious institutions such as the Institute of Oceanology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Maryland University. Notably, he participated in significant oceanographic research campaigns using RV Baruna Jaya VIII in Eastern Indonesia waters.
Budiman has made substantial contributions to coastal oceanography, focusing on cross-shelf exchange and biophysical processes like upwelling and mesoscale eddies. His research delves into the dynamics of seawater properties and chlorophyll-a variability. He has mastered tools like Matlab, Python, and Climate Data Operator (CDO) under Linux, and techniques for processing and analyzing satellite-derived oceanography data series.
IMPACT AND INFLUENCE
Asep Sandra Budiman's work has had a significant impact on the scientific community, evidenced by his numerous publications in high-impact journals. His research on the variability of Halmahera Sea currents and the forces driving chlorophyll-a variability in the South Java Sea Shelf have garnered widespread recognition. Additionally, his efforts in detecting eddies using the Angular Momentum Eddy Detection and Tracking Algorithm (AMEDA) have advanced the understanding of mesoscale oceanographic processes.
LEGACY AND FUTURE CONTRIBUTIONS
Looking forward, Budiman aims to further his research on upwelling's role in preventing coral bleaching due to global warming and detecting potential fishing grounds based on oceanographic variables using deep learning algorithms. His ongoing work on upwelling and mesoscale eddies from satellite-derived, reanalysis, and ARGO floats data in the South of Java is expected to provide critical insights into marine environmental sustainability and resource management.
