LIVE MY DREAMS
Life, Teaching, and Research
I was born and grew up in Chanthaburi, a coastal province which is located in a fertile rain forest area in the eastern part of Thailand. I have been interested in nature and people since I was young. I studied my Bachelor Program at Chulalongkorn University's Department of Marine Science that allowed me to obtain broad knowledge of science and the relationship between living creatures and environment. I had a chance to conduct various fieldworks in different areas and had learned in real-life situations. After graduation, I was an environmental reporter for Thai and English newspapers during 1993-1996. I had a unique opportunity to observe various environmental problems in Thailand. I realized that the deterioration of natural resources in the country comes primarily from public lack of understanding and awareness
about the environment and inappropriate uses of technology to solve such problems. During 1996-1999, I obtained scholarships from the Chin Sophonpanich Foundation for Environment and from the Biodiversity Research Grant to further my Master's program in the multidisciplinary Department of Environmental Science, Chulalongkorn University. Afterward, I received a government scholarship to pursue my PhD program in Natural Resources at Cornell University, USA, in 2001. I conducted my dissertation research on influences of ecotone properties on species distributions over spatial and temporal scales. My research work dealt with both empirical and simulation modeling to determine ecotone formation in complex aquatic systems and ecotone function on fish species assemblages.
