DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING HEAD:

The Department of Chemical Engineering offers a Paisan Kittisupakorn, Ph.D. (London)


Bachelor of Engineering degree, a Master of
Engineering degree, and a Doctor of Engineering
degree in Chemical Engineering. The department
PROFESSORS:
currently accepts a sophomore class of about 70
students for Bachelor's program, 100 students for
Paisan Kittisupakorn, Ph.D. (London)
Master program (50-60 for M.Eng.program, 30-40 for
Piyasan Praserthdam, B.Eng. (Chula), M.Sc.
weekeng M.Eng.program) and 5-10 students for
Doctoral program. (P.I.N.Y.), Dr.lng.
The Bachelor of Engineering's degree program (I.N.S.A.) (Toulouse)
offers a complete set of basic courses in Chemical Suttichai Assabumrungrat, Ph.D. (London)
Engineering. The curriculum also allows the students to
choose several elective courses. This special feature ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS:
broadens the student's knowledge to meet his or her
interest and the demands of the industries. The senior Artiwan Shotipruk, Ph.D.(Michigan,
project introduces the students to the integration of Ann Arbor)
knowledge and gives them hand-on experiences in Bunjerd Jongsomjit, Ph.D. (Pittsburgh)
solving the engineering and technological problems. Deacha Chatsiriwech, Ph.D. (London)
The curriculum additionally stresses the training of the Joongjai Panpranot, Ph.D. (Clemson)
student to think and present oneself logically and Prasert Pavasant, Ph.D. (London)
independently. Muenduen Phisalaphong, Ph.D. (Colorado State)
The department of Chemical Engineering offers two Sarawut Rimdusit, Ph.D. (CWRU)
graduate programs leading to the degree of Master of Seeroong Prichanont, Ph.D. (London)
Engineering and the degree of Doctor of Engineering Siriporn Damrongsakkul, Ph.D. (London)
Students entering graduate study in the Department Supakanok Thongyai, Ph.D. (London)
normally have a bachelor's degree in Chemical
Tawatchai Charinpanitkul, D.Eng. (Tokyo)
Engineering. The Department also admits exceptional
Tharathon Mongkhonsi, Ph.D. (London)
students who majored in another branch of engineering,
Ura Pancharoen, D.Eng.Sc. (NJIT)
or science at the undergraduate level. Depending on
their background, these students have to take
undergraduate chemical engineering courses as ASSISTANT PROFESSORS:
necessary, while simultaneously taking graduate level
subjects for which they have adequate preparation. Amornchai Arpornwichanop, D.Eng. (Chula)
The applicant for a doctoral degree must hold either Anongnat Somwangthanaroj, Ph.D. (Michigan)
a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering with Apinan Soottitantawat, Ph.D. (Japan)
Second Class Honors or equivalent or a master's Kasidit Nootong, Ph.D. (Pennsylvania)
degree in Chemical Engineering. Montree Wongsri, D.Sc,(Washington,
The research activities at the department are St.Louis)
grouped into 10 areas of interest, namely, biochemical Nattaporn Tonanon, D.Eng. (Kyoto)
engineering, catalysts and catalytic reaction Soorathep Kheawhom, Ph.D. (Tokyo)
engineering, control and system engineering, Sorada Kanokpanont, Ph.D. (Drexel)
environmental chemical engineering and safety, life Suphot Phatanasri, D.Eng. (Kyoto)
cycle engineering, oleochemical, particle technology Varong Pavarajarn, Ph.D. (Oregon State)
and material processing, polymer science and polymer
engineering, process systems engineering, and LECTURERS
separation technology. Each student can choose to do
his or her research in anyone of these research areas.
Akawat Sirisuk, Ph.D. (Wisconsin)
The collaboration between the department and top
Chutirnon Satirapipathkul, D.Eng (Tokyo Tech)
universities in several countries such as Japan, Canada,
England, Australia and China will strengthen graduate Jirdsak Tscheikuna, Ph.D. (OklahornaState)
program of the department. Sirijutaratana Covavisaruch, Ph.D. (Michigan,
The above curriculum and research activities Ann Arbor)
together with strong interaction between faculties and Sirikanya Singcuna, M.S. (Waterloo)
students in all levels have produced the graduates who Varun Taepaisitphongse, Ph.D. (UCLA)
can meet the demands and needs of the chemical,
petrochemical, and related industries as well as various
governmental organizations. Additionally, these have
paved the way for the Department of Chemical
Engineering to establish herself as an active partner in
the advancement of Chemical Engineering discipline in
Thailand.
