Rahma Muthia is an assistant professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Universitas Indonesia. She obtained her bachelor degree from Universitas Indonesia, her master degree from Universiteit Twente (The Netherlands), and her doctoral degree from The University of Manchester (The United Kingdom). Her work and research are particularly related to the fields of sustainable process engineering and intensified low-carbon process. Working in academia and closely to industrial sectors has broadened her horizons regarding the importance of synergy between the two sectors so that major breakthroughs in sustainable process engineering can be implemented.
