Maghfira Abida, M.Sc. Junior Research Associate

Bio


I have recently completed the Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management master's program at UCL, establishing a solid foundation in earth science, engineering, and disaster management. My academic background, comprising a diverse range of pertinent courses and degrees, positions me adeptly to address intricate challenges within the field of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).

Over the past five years, I have dedicated myself to the development of Dongeng Geologi, an educational platform focused on natural hazards. Through this initiative, I have successfully led collaborative projects, fostering heightened awareness of natural hazards and cultivating valuable partnerships with universities, governmental institutions, and the private sector. Currently, I am spearheading a new endeavor named Prediscover—a DRR community aimed at engaging youth and young professionals to actively contribute to disaster risk reduction. In addition to my commitment to DRR, I am actively involved in social projects addressing the climate change crisis within the Magelang Community.

My adaptive nature and agility empower me to excel in fulfilling professional responsibilities. My effective communication and public speaking skills have enabled me to actively participate in various organizations, including the Indonesia Association of Geologists and Kageogama (Geological Engineering of UGM Alumni Association). These experiences have further enriched my understanding of the intersection between science, societal needs, and professional engagement.
