Biography

I was born in Lopburi, a province in the central part of Thailand. My hometown that I was growing up is Nakhon Sawan, a province in the Northen Thailand.  I graduated Bachelor and Master degree in Economics from Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Then I spent two years working as an economist in the Export-Import Bank of Thailand and one year in the Chulalongkorn Economics Research Center as a research associate.

When there were some questions in my career that have not been answered, I decided to explore more in the academic world by pursuing my Ph.D. study at the University of Utah. I spent five years in my Ph.D. focusing on the economic growths of the developing Asias using econometric techniques. Now I graduate and intend to get more experience in both teaching and research in the United States
