Expertise: Microbial Systematics, Extremophile Microbiology, Metagenomics, Marine Microbiology, Bioprospecting
Short Bio:
Ali Budhi Kusuma is a dedicated microbiologist specializing in microbial diversity, ecology, and bioprospecting. With a PhD from Newcastle University (2020) and an MSc from the University of Birmingham (2014), his research focuses on exploring extremophilic actinobacterial diversity for novel antimicrobials and industrial enzymes. He founded the Indonesian Centre for Extremophile Bioresources and Biotechnology (ICEBB) to preserve microbial bioresources in Indonesia. Ali has secured numerous grants, supervised over 20 students, and contributed to scientific publications and conferences. His work bridges basic research and biotech applications, driven by a passion for biodiversity conservation and sustainable bioinnovation.
