Ibrahim is a PhD student in the ANU School of Archaeology and Anthropology. His research focuses on the nocturnal behaviour of the Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Using arboreal camera traps and passive acoustic monitoring, he investigates the species’ activity budgets and vocal behaviour to improve understanding of its ecology and conservation.

His research interests include evidence-based conservation, protected area management, primate behaviour, field research stations, and biodiversity monitoring technologies, particularly camera traps and acoustic monitoring. Ibrahim has worked as a forest technician with Indonesia’s Ministry of Forestry since 2008 and is currently based at Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Ibrahim holds a Bachelor of Forestry degree in Silviculture from IPB University, Indonesia, and a Master of Forest Science from the ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society. His master's research examined ways to improve the alignment between scientific research and management practices within Indonesia’s national parks.
