My Name is Apiradee UTHAIRATANAKIJ. I have been working as a Lecturer and Researcher at the School of Bioresources and Technology, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi since 1996, following my graduation from Kasetsart University. Thereafter, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Western Sydney in 2004. My research focuses on utilizing LED lights to stimulate the production of secondary metabolites in vegetables, exploring green technologies for crop production to reduce heat stress, and developing post-harvest technologies to maintain quality and extend the shelf life of fresh produce. In addition, functional food and ingredients have been studied and developed into healthy products. I have published both book chapters and research articles, with an H-index of 21 and more than 1,000 citations.
