Advancing Education and Culture Together

I am Prof. Yuli Rahmawati, M.Sc, PhD, an attache of education and culture in Indonesian Embassy in Canberra. I am excited to promote educational, language, and cultural cooperation between Australia and Indonesia.

My Life Story

Besides as Attache, I am a professor of chemistry education for over 20 years, I have been dedicated to advancing the field of chemistry education. My passion for teaching fuels my research and publications, including well-respected books and articles in academic journals.

My educational journey began with a bachelor's degree from Universitas Negeri Jakarta in 2003. I then pursued a master's degree and a doctorate in Science Education from Curtin University in Australia. My enthusiasm for this field extends beyond the classroom. I actively participate as the keynote and invited speakers at national and international events.I am also a dedicated researcher with a focus on transformative learning, sustainability, and the learning environment.

In addition to teaching and research, I am deeply committed to mentoring and supporting aspiring chemistry educators. I understand the importance of equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge to inspire future generations of Indonesian youth. This is why I have initiated several communities and research groups, such as the Learning Environmental Research Group (LERG), the Transformative Education Research Group (TERG), and the Indonesian Research Teacher Community. These groups aim to support both current and future educators in developing their skills and knowledge.
