At the ANU Indonesia Project

Budy joined the ANU Indonesia Project in October 2001. In 2004, he convened that year ANU's Indonesia Update Conference on issues of natural resource management. Based on papers presented in this conference, he edited a book, titled The Politics and Economics of Indonesia's Natural Resources. The book was published by ISEAS in 2005. [4] In 2006, he organised a workshop for the Project on development and environment in Eastern Indonesia: Papua: Maluku and East Nusa Tenggara. [5] Based on this workshop, he co-edited a book, titled: Working with Nature against Poverty: Development and Environment in Eastern Indonesia, which was published by ISEAS in 2009. [6] In 2014, together with Premachandra Athukorala and Arianto Patunru, he co-edited a book in honor of Hal Hill, a prominent economist specializing in Southeast Asian economies, particularly Indonesia, and a former head of the ANU Indonesia Project (1986 to 1998). [7]

From February 2009 until August 2009, Budy was the acting head of the ANU Indonesia Project. From February 2010 until February 2011, he and Chris Manning co-headed the Project; and from February 2011 until May 2017, he was the head of the ANU Indonesia Project. [8] In 2018, he was promoted to become a professor at the ANU. He has been re-appointed as the head of the ANU Indonesia Project since July 2023.

Since joining the ANU Indonesia Project, he has been regularly giving public lectures in several Indonesian universities, such as in Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas Padjadjaran, Universitas Airlangga, Universitas Brawidjaya and Universitas Diponegoro in Java; Universitas Syiah Kuala, Universitas Andalas and Universitas Sriwijaya in Sumatra; Universitas Lambung Mangkurat in Kalimantan, Universitas Sam Ratulangi and Universitas Hasanuddin in Sulawesi; Universitas Udayana, Universitas Pattimura and Universitas Cendrawasih in other islands of Indonesia. In 2011, together with leaders of SMERU Research Institute and LPEM-FEBUI, as well as in collaborations with researchers from other institutions and universities, he co-founded the Forum Kajian Pembangunan, a seminar series on development issues in Indonesia.

In 1996, Budy chaired a Working Committee that a year later formed the Indonesian Regional Science Association (IRSA). [9] In 2000, he organised the second IRSA international conference of the Association in Jakarta. Only 14 papers were submitted to the conference at that time. Since that year, the Association has been regularly conducting its annual conferences. Throughout the years, the size of the conference has been gradually developed. By early 2010s, more than 400 papers were submitted to each IRSA conference, which only approximately half of them could be accepted. By then, IRSA conferences have become the major development conferences in Indonesia. Members of the association are mostly academics and researchers who concern with the regional development in Indonesia. [10] He was the Vice President of IRSA from July 2009 until July 2017. Since 2001, he has been coordinating the annual IRSA book series on Regional Development in Indonesia. The list of books in the IRSA series can be found on this page.

He then did his junior and high school education at the Kanisius junior and high school in Jakarta. He received his sarjana degree in Electrical Engineering from Bandung Institute of Technology, masters degree in Operations Research from University of Delaware, and doctoral degree in development economics from Cornell University.
