Profile

Iqbal earned a B.Sc in Health Nutrition at Universitas Gadjah Mada in 2010 and a Master in Public Health (MPH) at the same university in November 2015. In the MPH program, Iqbal's study focused on Dietetic Administration. Iqbal's academic journey as a lecturer has shown the importance of adopting technology in the classroom, making it essential to integrate nutrition science into a digital paradigm. Iqbal is consistently engaged with the intersection of Nutrition Theory and Technology, having observed the flourishing of many nutrition apps outside of the country several years ago. It is fascinating for him to watch how the digital revolution reshapes society at an unprecedented pace, with still so much to learn.

Nutrition informatics particularly interests Iqbal, stemming from his studies and keen interest in nutrition. Iqbal is amazed by how technology has advanced to the point where computers are employed to solve complex issues. He is excited to be a part of the future generation of informatics and nutrition scientists, bringing a fresh perspective to the field while building on the work of today's great minds.

Research experience

I did not begin to pursue my interest until I was given a significant chance to build and research a web-based nutrition counseling service in 2017, which resulted in a huge shift in my life trajectory. I have been prototyping nutrition applications and conducting various forms of research on them for the past year. In addition, I hold six intellectual property rights related to my research products, such as: the designs of AhliGiziID, Dietducate, Nilaigizi.com, Dietducate's Automated Meal Planner, Kickstunting, and Hospimeal.
