About
Andhika received his PhD on the development of molecular approaches to reduce illegal trade of shark and ray products in Indonesia in 2023. He has worked on research projects related to the elasmobranchii in Indonesia since 2015 when he started his MSc on assessing abundance of coral reef-associated sharks using Baited Remote Underwater Video with Global FinPrint Project. He joined Ministry for Marine Affairs and Fisheries in 2009 as researcher at Centre for Fisheries Research before merged to the NRIA in 2022 and joined Research Centre for Conservation of Marine and Inland Water Resources. He was interested on fisheries modelling as support to fisheries management policies. In 2009, he used genetic approaches to investigate elasmobranch species and helped suggest appropriate conservation and management measures to ensure their long-term benefit to ecosystems and communities and bring science closer to communities. Genetic undoubtably opens his eye to the fact that the limit in genetics is only our imagination.
