I am Afif^, currently a final-year mathematics PhD student at University of New South Wales, Australia, supervised by Alina Ostafe and Igor E. Shparlinski. Previously I graduated with a bachelor and master degree from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia, supervised by Aleams Barra.
In shorthand, I am interested in various aspects of number theory and combinatorics. In particular, my PhD project studies arithmetic statistics of algebraic groups using techniques from analytic number theory. Click here for more information on my research and education.
My CV in pdf is available via this link. Here are the links to my Google Scholar, ORCID and zbMath profiles. My Erdős number is 3.
I also tutored some classes in UNSW. In addition, I am also involved in several mathematical outreach activities, for example,
writing moe-fied mathematical books. Further information on these can be found here.
I came from Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. I am a native in Bahasa Indonesia and Basa Banjar, and could speak English and Python. Outside of mathematics, I have various hobbies, as seen in this homepage.

A note on nickname.
^Muhammad is also fine, especially for non-Indonesians. Most Indonesians, including myself, do not have proper first-last name convention. See this Wikipedia link on this practice.Last updated in February 2026.
