Fairuz Mutia is a PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales (Â鶹Éçmadou), Australia, whose research sits at the intersection of landscape architecture, disaster resilience, and urban design. Her doctoral work explores how communities in peri-urban floodplains navigate environmental risk, socio-spatial change, and shifting land use, with a particular interest in the integration of traditional knowledge into contemporary resilience strategies.

With a strong background in environmental planning and urban design, Fairuz brings a multidisciplinary approach that combines spatial analysis, community engagement, and qualitative inquiry to inform more inclusive and context-sensitive policy outcomes.

Fairuz is a recipient of the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP) Scholarship, under the Ministry of Finance, Republic of Indonesia. She also serves as a full-time lecturer at Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jawa Timur, where she has led and contributed to several research projects on sustainable tourism, urban morphology, and coastal village revitalization.

Beyond academia, she has professional experience in architectural design, interior projects, and editorial work since 2014. Her previous work includes field coordination, architectural design, design visualization, and stakeholder collaboration.

Fairuz’s recent recognitions include:

• People’s Choice Award at the Â鶹Éçmadou SDG Challenge 2024 for a trauma-informed community solution,
• Winner of Aesthetic Absurdity at the Terrible Ideas Hackathon 2024, celebrating creativity and innovation under pressure.
