Bima Satritama is a 21-year-old PhD candidate at Swinburne University of Technology and an affiliate of CSIRO. His research focuses on high-temperature metal extraction. During his Bachelor's and Master's studies at ITB, he investigated the production of nickel matte with alternative sulfur addition and the use of hydrogen gas for nickel pig iron production. Immediately after graduation, he began his PhD to study silicon production using hydrogen plasma as a member of the Victorian Hydrogen Hub (VH2). His eagerness towards the implementation of a hydrogen economy, a vital step towards a greener civilization, is evident in his previous and current work. He is ready to actively involved on some opportunities to create a significant impact in this field, one of which by participating on this event.
