Malindo Wardana

Malindo is currently studying a Master of Energy Systems sponsored by the Indonesia’s Endowment Fund for Education. He brings over nine years of experience as a field engineer in different parts of the Asia Pacific and Africa.

He is passionate about connecting science and engineering education with practical applications for sustainability solutions, especially within remote communities in his home country of Indonesia or Indigenous ones in Australia. Through the Wattle Fellowship, Malindo hopes to learn more about Aboriginal cultures and create designs for sustainable living off-grid that can benefit remote communities. His other interests are implementation of aquaponics in urban environments and waste management.

Outside of his studies Malindo volunteers as vice president of the LPDP University of Melbourne Association (@lpdp.unimelb), and runs a tour guiding company related to culture and sustainability called Jalan Jalan Toraja.
