PROFIL

I work at the intersection of Islamic law and computational text analysis. My research applies bibliometric and natural language processing methods to two bodies of legal text: classical Islamic legal literature and the rulings of Indonesian Religious Courts (Pengadilan Agama). I ask: what patterns of reasoning actually emerge across thousands of court decisions, and how do those patterns relate to the doctrinal positions found in the fiqh tradition?

A typical project starts by building a structured corpus of court rulings or scholarly texts, then runs citation mapping, topic modeling, or text-mining analysis, before moving back into close doctrinal reading to interpret what the patterns mean for Islamic legal theory. This combination has shaped most of my published work in indexed international journals.

I have been a lecturer at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta since 2016, where I teach Islamic law, legal theory, and comparative jurisprudence. I also serve as Editor-in-Chief of Suhuf: International Journal of Islamic Studies.

I am currently working on the empirical core of my doctoral research and preparing several derivative articles for reputable international journals in Islamic legal studies and socio-legal research. I welcome conversations with editors and reviewers working on Islamic law, judicial reasoning, and computational approaches to legal text, particularly in cross-jurisdictional or low-resource-language settings.
