Dr. Safrina Dyah Hardiningtyas is a lecturer with expertise in the field of aquatic bionanotechnology, which focuses on the utilization of biomaterials and bioactive compounds from aquatic resources. Her research includes the extraction of bioactive components such as chitin-chitosan and polysaccharides, as well as the development of nanomaterials through an environmentally friendly approach (green synthesis) using aquatic biota extracts. In addition, she also developed a nano-based delivery system for the encapsulation of active ingredients applied in cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical products. The research conducted also includes bioremediation, biotransformation using microbes, and innovations in modern extraction methods such as nanocellulose and deep eutectic solvents to produce high-value-added and sustainable products.
