Introducing New Faculty Member Dr. Panawan Vanaphuti

                Dr. Panawan Vanaphuti received her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2022, where she worked with Professor Yan Wang on high-energy layered oxide cathodes for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. After graduation, she completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Texas at Austin, working with Professor Arumugam Manthiram on various cathode syntheses and developments for lithium-ion batteries, including high-nickel layered oxides, manganese-based spinel, and lithium manganese iron phosphates. Dr. Panawan began as a faculty member of the Chemistry Department at Chulalongkorn University in August 2024 and is interested in enhancing materials for lithium-ion and beyond lithium-ion batteries.
