Co-Founder & Researcher
Nino is a social scientist and activist with a huge concern in the nexus of human, environment and technology. Currently, he is working as researcher and lecturer at Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia.
His interests are, but not limited to, social theories and research methodology, media and political anthropology, urbanism and modern culture. His academic work began with a long-term multidimensional social and cultural research into the Lapindo mudflow case in Porong, East Java (2008-2016), from which he started to engage with social, cultural and historical studies of science and technology. In this latter field, he tries to grasp the opportunity to find explanations of social and cultural impacts of technological revolution and adaptation strategies within post-colonial framework.

His consultancy experiences cover many areas such as media and information freedom, pre-university education, open government, civil society-government collaboration, social security, adaptation to environmental changes, tolerance and multiculturalism, and creative economy.
