Dr. rer. nat. Andhika Puspito Nugroho
Andhika studies the responses of organisms to the presence of metals, microplastics, and insecticides in the ecosystem, at the molecular to population/community levels. The parameters he has studied include DNA damage, protein, carbohydrate and lipid content, antioxidative enzyme activity, metallothionein, metabolomics, density, and biomass, along with evaluating the responses as biomarkers or bioindicators in monitoring ecosystem health. In the faculty, he assists in the academic activities of its Master's program. In his free time, Andhika enjoys going to the gym, baking cakes, and reading horror stories.
Mukhlish Jamal Musa Holle, MEnvSc, DPhil
Jamal was academically trained as a tropical community ecologist. He uses experimental approaches to manipulate environmental conditions and community composition to investigate how ecosystems respond to changes. His recent interests revolve around environmental change ecology, nature-based solutions, and agro-ecology. In the lab, he carries out any task within his capacity as an early-career staff member. After completing an MBA, this introvert started gaining a personal interest in nature sustainability from economics and policy perspectives. He has started participating in sports such as archery, running, and swimming, but procrastination consistently prevents him doing sports he likes. Fun fact: Jamal could sleep anywhere, including while standing and cycling.

In the laboratory, she is responsible for managing its overall direction, its day-to-day running, and helping students navigate academic life. A rascal at heart, Lelly otherwise spends her free time singing in small clubs, cooking and baking scrumptious food, playing guitar uncomfortably, sleeping in her comfy bed, and watching movies.
Tukijan
As the lab technician, Tukijan is the go-to for anything any you need to know about the lab. Outside the lab, he can often be found out in the field, where he spends his free time farming.
