Research Interests
My research interests are centered around the synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced materials, particularly single crystals and scintillators (Sub-catagory of luminescence materials with the ability to convert ionizing radiation to UV-visible light) for ionizing radiation detection. I am highly focused on exploring the photoluminescence, radioluminescence, and scintillation properties of various doped materials, including rare-earth elements like Eu, Sm, Ce, and Pr, with an emphasis on their potential applications in radiation sensing devices. For this reserch topic I have been partner with leading reserch groups, including both national (CEGM, Nakhon Pathom) and international (NAIST, Japan).
Additionally, I am passionate about material innovations for sustainable development, especially in enhancing the performance of materials used in industrial applications espacialy bulding materials for circular economy and green industry. My work often involves interdisciplinary collaboration to create practical solutions in energy-efficient systems, green industry initiatives, and upcycling of industrial waste.
This research aims to push the boundaries of material functionality, especially in fields requiring precision detection, such as medical imaging, nuclear radiation monitoring, and environmental sensing.
