Biography
My field of study was Genetics Engineering at Kasetsart University, Thailand for a Bachelor’s degree in Science (Biology) and a Master’s degree in Science (Genetics). I did undergraduate research investigating the gene expression of fatty acid biosynthesis at different stages of mesocarp in oil palm. In 2013, I took the Master’s program and my thesis was about the heat acclimation of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. I finished my PhD from Saitama University, Japan in 2024 which focus on the improved capacity for the repair of photosystem II via reinforcement of the translational and antioxidation systems in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
