01Profile

I am a physics educator and materials researcher with an M.Sc. by Research in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, Thailand, and a peer-reviewed publication in electrochemistry.

My teaching spans secondary, undergraduate, and university levels, with a consistent thread running through it: integrating ICT, active-learning methods, and STEAM pedagogy in settings where laboratory resources are limited. Alongside electrochemical characterisation, data analysis, and scientific writing, I work in Python, machine learning, and cybersecurity.

I am seeking doctoral study or a research and teaching role where rigorous experimental skills and a commitment to accessible science education can produce measurable impact.
