My name is Anandhika Arifianto, and I go by my nickname, Anan. I am currently a final-year graduate student in the Master of Urban Strategies program at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. I defended my master's thesis in December 2024 and have been doing an internship as an Economic Affairs Intern at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) in Bangkok since January 15. I am an urban planner with a broad interest in innovation and knowledge systems within the context of urban sociology and economics. Specifically, I am interested in the relationship between these systems and regional economics in the era of ICT and digitalization. My research interests are focused on Southeast Asia.
