Biography

Dr. Selorm Torgbo is a researcher specializing in biotechnology, biopolymers, and biomaterials. Affiliated with the Cellulose for Future Materials and Technologies Special Research Unit at the Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Agro-Industry, Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, he serves as a researcher and deputy group leader for the unit. Key Research Focus • Biopolymers and Nanomaterials: Extraction and utilization of bacterial cellulose, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), regenerated cellulose, and nanofibrils for medical, cosmeceutical, and bio-packaging applications. • Tissue Engineering and Biomedical Applications: Development of biopolymer-based composite scaffolds (incorporating materials such as silk fibroin, hydroxyapatite, chitosan, and gelatin) for tissue engineering, bone regeneration, and wound dressings. • Lignocellulosic Biomass Valorization: Sustainable processing and bioconversion of agricultural waste and byproducts such as sugarcane bagasse and rambutan peel, into value-added materials and bioactive compounds. • Bioactive and Functional Materials: Extraction of natural bioactive compounds (e.g., ellagitannins, phenolic extracts) for incorporation into antimicrobial, antioxidant, air-filtration materials, and functional foods formulation.
