Research activities focus on advancing sustainable engineering solutions
across materials, processes, and energy systems. The work emphasizes
environmentally responsible and resource-efficient technologies that support
low-carbon and circular economy transitions. Approaches include process
systems engineering, environmental assessment, and data-driven modeling to
evaluate and improve the sustainability performance of chemical and energy
technologies using life-cycle thinking.
-
• Sustainable Process Systems and Environmental Assessment
A core research area of KUSuRe (Kasetsart University Sustainable Engineering
Research Unit), focusing on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), carbon and water
footprint analysis, and techno-economic and environmental evaluation of
chemical and energy systems to support low-carbon and circular economy
transitions.
-
• Polymers and Functional Composite Materials
Design, synthesis, and characterization of advanced polymeric and composite
materials for functional and sustainable applications.
-
• Electrochemistry for Renewable Energy Systems
Development of electrochemical materials and processes for energy storage
and energy conversion technologies.
-
• Data-Driven Chemical Engineering and Hybrid Process Modeling
Integration of process simulation, first-principles modeling, and machine
learning for predictive process design. Digital approaches such as AI-assisted process development,
multi-objective optimization, and multi-criteria decision analysis are also
applied, often combined with techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle
assessment (LCA) to evaluate trade-offs among cost, efficiency, and
environmental impacts. These approaches support the development of digital
tools and sustainable strategies for chemical and energy systems.
