I’m Ayu from Indonesia, and I’ve just started my first year as a student in the Master’s Programme in Health Informatics at Karolinska Institutet.

Coming from various backgrounds has given me a different perspective towards issues and how to solve them. I’m truly passionate about analysis, maths, data science, and connecting it with real-world problems, especially in the healthcare field.

The Joint Master’s Programme in Health Informatics at KI has opened many opportunities for me to learn and grow within these fields.

Fun fact about me: I skipped one year in high school and became the youngest student at university at 16 years old. At that time, I was living alone, far from my family, at such a young age.

In my free time, you can find me either in a yoga studio, gym, or bookstore. I’m looking forward to enjoying many new experiences with friends and connecting the many dots of my new Sweden chapter.

Oh, and I love matcha—so if anyone knows a good matcha café here in Stockholm, I’d love to try it!
