ABOUT ME
Dr. Soorathep Kheawhom is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. He completed his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Chemical Engineering at the same university in 1997, after which he worked there for two years. From 1999 to 2004, he pursued his Master's and Doctorate degrees in Japan under the mentorship of Prof. Masahiko Hirao, earning his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo.
Upon completion of his studies, Dr. Kheawhom returned to Chulalongkorn University's Department of Chemical Engineering. His early research utilized mathematical tools to support control, operation, and maintenance activities in chemical processes, as well as to explore significant phenomena in industrial chemical processes.
Dr. Kheawhom's current research pivots around the development of next-generation batteries, specifically zinc-air, zinc-ion, and zinc-iodine batteries. He has contributed significantly to the field, authoring numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and frequently presenting at international energy storage technology conferences.
In addition to his research, Dr. Soorathep also commits time to mentorship, advising and guiding undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral associates. His experience and knowledge continue to shape the future engineers and researchers in the energy storage sector.
