Academic Service & Coaching

At EKKA, an AI competition exhibition within Indonesia’s National Science Olympiad (OSN), I served on the scientific committee for the selection process. I continued in the same role through Pelatnas 1–3, the national training and selection stages for the Indonesian team preparing for IOAI, the annual International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence for high-school students.
