Biography

I am an Associate Professor at Kasetsart University, specializing in radiation shielding and radiation processing. My research focuses on using gamma irradiation to enhance material properties, including antifungal activity, biodegradability, and mechanical strength in polymers. My work spans radiation shielding materials and polymer modification, with applications in both industry and sustainability. Notably, my study on chitosan-gamma irradiation synergy in natural rubber films, published in Results in Engineering, demonstrated improved antifungal properties and biodegradability. Additionally, I have developed radiation shielding materials, including polymer-based and heavy metal composites to improve protection against ionizing radiation. My work on bismuth-loaded and lead-free shielding materials offers safer and more environmentally friendly alternatives for radiation protection. Beyond research, I actively mentor students in shielding material development and radiation processing, contributing to the advancement of radiation technology for sustainable materials and improved radiation protection.
