Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in academic exploration. My expertise encompasses phytochemistry, natural product chemistry, extraction methods, and the interpretation of structures using various spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, IR, UV-Vis, MS, and ECD. I am adept at isolating compounds using techniques like column chromatography (CC, QCC), flash chromatography, and HPLC, assessing their potential biological activities, including alpha-glucosidase inhibition, antioxidant activities, NO production inhibition, and cytotoxicity. My academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from Mae Fah Luang University, Thailand and visiting research student at University of Wollongong, Australia. I have previously held postdoctoral positions at James Cook University in Australia and I am currently engaged in research at the University of Hawaii in the USA.
