About

Welcome to CollectingNotes 

My name is Yusuf Suryanto and I’m a full time employee who is trying to exploit advanced technology as a tool to share knowledge particularly on regulatory, energy, and telecommunication.

Knowledge Sharing
People no matter their age, sex, nationality, or religion always face problems in their private life, social life, and also working life. Science and technology come in to help solving the problems. Unfortunately, solutions sometimes aren't easy to find. Sharing between colleagues and friends may provide useful information in that matter. Therefore, I set up CollectingNotes to disseminate all knowledge or information I have, gathered from different kind of sources to help people around the globe.

Spreading Ideas Blog
This site is dedicated to helping people understanding energy and telecommunication industry in terms of regulatory approaches as well as collecting tips and tricks related to analytical tools used in the area.

I started CollectingNotes as soon as 2011 mainly because I wanted to keep a record of what I was learning about. Since then I’ve added well over 30 articles, tips, tutorials and case studies to my archives here. If you would like more information on CollectingNotes please get in touch through my contact page.

My Experiences and Expertise
I may call my self public utility economist because energy and telecommunication are fall into that category. I finished my bachelor as an physical engineer  dealing with construction, design, and supervision. Later then, I have involved much on energy and telecommunication development that lead me to pursue economics on my graduate education (masters in applied economics from Illinois State University). During completion of my graduate program, I involved in Sunshot Project funded by USA government.

In addition to my formal education, I have also complete domestic or international training regarding public utility economics, among others, as follows
(1)  Energy Policy Training and Dialogue, Japan;
(2) Training Course on Sustainable Energy Development Exchange, South Korea;
(3) Training on Statistics;
(4) Training on Project Assessment;
(5) Basic concept of energy modelling and using Simple E software;
(6) Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Fundamental and Application Course.
