Chemical Metallurgy and Materials Chemistry

Advancing sustainable resource recovery, alloy design, and functional materials at the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Universitas Indonesia — from extractive metallurgy and urban mining to computationally-guided alloys and biomaterials.

Our Mission

Bridging Chemical Metallurgy and Sustainable Materials Design

The Chemical Metallurgy and Materials Chemistry (CMMC) research group at Universitas Indonesia advances sustainable resource recovery, alloy design, and functional materials science. Our Sustainable Resources Recovery and Processing (SR2P) theme drives innovation in extractive metallurgy and urban mining, while our broader research spans computationally-guided alloy design and sustainable biomaterials — united by a shared commitment to the circular economy.

Our Research Areas

The CMMC group advances sustainable materials science across three interconnected research themes.

SR2P — Sustainable Resources Recovery and Processing

Our team utilizes advanced methodologies to transform raw data into meaningful insights, enabling strategic decisions and efficient solutions for your projects.

Sustainable Alloy Design (ICME)

Computationally-guided design of high-entropy alloys, medium-entropy alloys, and Co-free maraging steels, integrating simulation and experiment to accelerate sustainable alloy development.

Sustainable Biomaterials

Biodegradable polymer composites and scaffolds for biomedical applications, advancing materials chemistry for regenerative medicine and implantable devices.

Integrated Approach to Sustainable Materials Research

The CMMC group combines experimental and computational methods to address materials sustainability challenges — from primary resource extraction to advanced alloy and biomaterial design. Our integrated approach connects fundamental metallurgical science with real-world circular economy applications.
