Greetings! I'm Muhammad Hadi Saputra, but you can call me Hadi. I'm born in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, currently residing in the serene surroundings of Simalungun, North Sumatra. My academic journey has been diverse and enriching—I earned my bachelor's degree in Forestry from Gadjah Mada University, where I cultivated a deep appreciation for the natural world.
Seeking to broaden my horizons, I embarked on a remarkable academic endeavor, achieving a double degree in Urban and Regional Planning from ITB (Institut Teknologi Bandung) and Environmental Science from Hiroshima University. This multidisciplinary background equips me with a holistic understanding of the intricate dynamics between human habitats and ecological systems.
Currently, I am immersed in the dynamic realm of ecological modeling as a researcher at the esteemed National Research and Innovation Agency. My work delves into unraveling the complexities of ecosystems, aiming to inform sustainable environmental practices and policy decisions.
My dedication to advancing knowledge in my field is reflected in my contributions to academia. I've authored numerous articles in prestigious international journals, contributed to proceedings and books, and shared insights as an oral presenter in various seminars.

Research profiles
My name is Muhammad Hadi Saputra, and I am pursuing my PhD at the University of Twente. My academic journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of forestry, land management, and environmental sustainability.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Forestry from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in 2010, where I specialized in tree improvement, particularly focusing on species with economic value. This foundation provided me with a strong understanding of how to enhance the growth and sustainability of valuable tree species through improved genetic selection and cultivation techniques.
In 2018, I completed my Master’s degree at both the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) and Hiroshima University. My research concentrated on the impact of climate and land cover changes on valuable tree species using a species distribution model. This work deepened my knowledge of how environmental factors like climate change affect the distribution and survival of economically and ecologically important tree species.
Now, as a PhD student, I continue to explore these areas to contribute to sustainable forestry practices and environmental conservation.
